EXCLUSIVE Truth behind Tube station brawl revealed: Man dumped toddler on floor to pile into massive fight
A commuter caught brawling with another man at a packed London Tube station had been holding a toddler before dumping the child down a flight of steps as the dispute turned violent, a shocked witness has revealed. Horrific footage of the melee, which happened at the entrance to Highbury and Islington Station in north London on Thursday afternoon, showed three white men in formal suits appearing to hurl a black man wearing headphones down the stairs, before throwing punches and kicking him. However amid the chaos, a young child - aged around two or three according to a witness - was left crying on the ground after being dropped down the steps as the incident became heated, a source told MailOnline. The mother of the child - who was with two other children - was then seen rushing to the boy's aid, without noticing the pram she had been holding onto had began to roll down the incline close to the stairs. Thankfully, a bystander was able to intervene and prevent the second child from coming to harm. The suited man who had been holding the child is understood to have been punched to the head and was seen with a large lump on his forehead, as well as a bloodied left eye following the vicious incident. British Transport Police are probing mobile phone footage being shared online. A woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told MailOnline she and her mother had begun walking up the steps towards the station exit when the argument broke out, at around 5.24pm. She said: 'At first we heard yelling. That's when we noticed there were two men on the stairs, a black man and a white man in a formal outfit, who were arguing with each other. 'They started pushing each other, still arguing. 'The man in the formal attire was holding a young child aged around two or three. 'But when things started to get a little more heated, the child was dropped and landed on the ground. 'The black man punched the white man first. 'When the first punch was thrown, two other white men joined in and started fighting against the black man, and that's when they pushed him down and were stomping on him.' The witness said bystanders attempted to break up the fight but the white men appeared 'very aggravated and drunk'. She added that there were also two women - one of whom told the witness they were sisters - trying to calm the men down. 'One of the women in a yellow dress kept saying, "Calm down. You don't want to cause a scene or anything." 'But the white man involved in the fight was not able to be consoled in any way, even by somebody he knew.' The witness also described how in the first moments of the fight, the formally attired man had dropped a young toddler boy to the ground. 'His mother rushed to pick him up. The child was crying and she was also crying. 'But because the mum was so focused on the child that had been dropped, she did not notice the pram she had been holding onto began to roll, because there's an incline right by the stairs. 'It was actually my mother who went to catch the pram and kept the child safe.' The fight eventually ended, with the black man fleeing from the station, while the group in formal attire continued onto the platform and boarded a train. Shaken by the incident, the witness gave a description of the men to a TfL worker, who informed her that that the black man had returned to the station to retrieve his headphones, but left before police arrived on the scene. 'This was actually the first fight I've ever witnessed. My heart was racing. 'Because I was there right in front of it, I was scared that maybe one of them would fall on me or would have fallen down these stairs. 'Everyone was trying to calm down the man that got punched. 'He was shouting: "You're not the one with a black eye. I want to go after him." But everyone was trying to hold him back, saying, "No, leave it, let it be. You don't want to cause any other problems. He's gone." 'I could see there was a really massive bump on his forehead from where he got punched and blood around his eye.' A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: 'Officers received a report of a fight at Highbury and Islington Underground station at around 5.30pm yesterday. 'Officers are aware of footage circulating on social media, and the incident is currently being investigated. 'Anyone with information is asked to text 61016 with reference 558 of 17 July.'

Man, 38, charged after home linked to Scots kingpin torched amid explosive gang war
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAN has been charged with allegedly shooting at a house and carrying out a petrol-bombing on another linked to caged cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson. The suspect, 26, faces firearms and wilful fire-raising raps over the alleged targeting of the homes including one belonging to the brother of a jailed associate of the Edinburgh drugs baron.

Credit: SCOTTISH SUN Flames were seen leaping up to the roof after an alleged attack on a property belonging to Jed Heeps, 37 — whose brother Michael Heeps was jailed earlier this month for 'out of control gangsterism'. Another man, 38, last night became the 55th to be arrested over the ongoing mob war which has seen a spat of firebombings and gun attacks and spread overseas with the murder of two kingpins in Spain. A source told The Scottish Sun: 'Police started slow but have really ramped up the pressure. 'Arresting so many people is impressive — but it's convictions that really matter. 'The problem facing police is there's an endless line of guys who are seduced by the gangster lifestyle. 'Some of them are desperate for money. 'Others want the notoriety.' Ex-Rangers ultras leader Ross 'Miami' McGill sparked the latest round of fighting when he swore revenge after being ripped off with fake notes in a £500,000 cocaine deal. The Tamo Junto gang boss vowed to 'exterminate' the Daniel clan, Richardson and their allies over being paid counterfeit cash. His crew claimed responsibility in sinister online videos showing a series of firebomb, gun and machete attacks on their enemies and their loved ones. 'Godfather' Eddie Lyons Snr bids farewell to gunned down son & kingpin pal at double gang funeral Detectives yesterday revealed a man, 26, has been charged in connection with damage at a property in The Inch, Edinburgh, on June 12. He also faces a wilful fire-raising rap after Heep's house 10 miles away in Tranent, East Lothian was torched the next day. Onlookers told how flames could be seen 'leaping up to the roof' with the front door left charred and its guttering snapped and melted. Another man, 26, has been charged in connection with two motor fires in nearby Port Seton in May. Police launched Operation Portaledge to tackle the violence which has spread across Scotland's central belt and overseas in the last five months. A boy of 16 and a girl, 17, are among those lifted in connection with gangland activity. Detective Chief Superintendent David Ferry leads the force's Specialist Crime Division has vowed to bring all those involved to justice. He said: 'Police Scotland is taking this extremely seriously. 'We're not complacent. 'There is still lots of work to do and lots of people we're looking at who we need to also bring into custody.' Dubai-based McGill is being backed by powerful gangsters sheltering from the law in the millionaires' playground. Exiled mob leader Steven Lyons, 44, whose family has been at war with the Daniels for decades, is among those who is said to have gave his blessing to the upstart hood. He has links to the Irish Kinahan cartel which has made billions flooding Europe with cocaine and heroin but saw brother Eddie Lyons Jr, 46, and close pal Ross Monaghan, 43, murdered in a hit in May. Alleged assassin Michael Riley, 44, from Huyton, Merseyside, was arrested in connection with their deaths and is fighting extradition to Spain. Richardson henchman Michael Heeps is behind bars awaiting sentencing after being convicted of eight charges — including three attempted murders — alongside five others at the High Court in Glasgow earlier this month. Earlier this month, hundreds gathered to bid farewell to Lyons Jr and Monaghan. Grieving Godfather Eddie Lyons Snr was seen at the service struggling to contain his emotion. 5 Mark Richardson Credit: SCOTTISH SUN
