Chaotic moment man ‘chases passenger through packed tube station in terrifying broad-daylight attack'
THIS is the shocking moment a man chases a passenger through a packed tube station. Cops were scrambled to Earls Court Underground station in London yesterday following reports staff and passengers had been attacked. 4 4 Shocking footage shows a fleeing man desperately using station signs and a magazine rack to defend himself during the horror attack. Terrified passengers at the busy transport hub watch on as the attacker - dressed in a large puffa jacket - continues to chase his target. The man fends off his chaser before sprinting up and back down stairs leading to the exit. The pair continue to tussle with each other and barge past onlookers as the wild goose chase carries on into the building. Members of staff at the busy London station had also been targeted, according to the Met. A man was arrested and taken into custody. In a statement, the force said: "Officers were called at around 1.40pm yesterday (23 June) to a report of a man attacking staff and a member of the public at Earl's Court Underground station.

Led Zeppelin Reaches A Special Milestone For The First Time
Led Zeppelin's Four Symbols reenters the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart at No. 27, marking its ... More six hundredth week on the tally, a new record for the band. Led Zeppelin 1975 Jimmy Page Earls Court (Photo by Chris Walter/WireImage) Led Zeppelin is experiencing a modest but notable resurgence on the charts in the United Kingdom at the moment. The group's comeback would be welcome and notable for nearly any rock outfit, let alone one that's been as popular as the musicians have and for as long. Led Zeppelin doesn't have new work out, either. These returns are with decades-old material, which only fell away recently, and which loves to bounce back to the tallies with regularity. Last week was particularly eventful on the charts in the United Kingdom, thanks in part to Record Store Day releases. As many of those special titles fade, classics resurface — and Led Zeppelin is benefiting from that shift. The legendary rock outfit sees both a bestselling album and one of its most famous songs return to the rankings in the U.K., with the full collection even reaching a significant milestone. The band's untitled album — commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, but officially listed by the Official Charts Company as Four Symbols — returns to the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. The set is a top 40 bestseller again as it reenters at No. 27. Four Symbols isn't just back, though. It celebrates a major milestone as it finds space on the genre-specific list once more. The collection has now spent 600 weeks on this specific tally, and this frame marks the first time a Led Zeppelin title has hit the 600-week milestone on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. In fact, no other release in Led Zeppelin's discography has come close to that huge number. The next longest-running success from the group on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list is Mothership, with 380 frames on the roster. The band's self-titled debut has logged 269 weeks, while its follow-up, Led Zeppelin II, follows closely behind with 254 frames. As Four Symbols returns, so too does the most celebrated song from its tracklist. 'Stairway to Heaven' is back on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. Even though it wasn't officially released as a single from the project, the tune has now spent 628 weeks on the ranking. It reappears at No. 40 this frame, the lowest spot on the list, but has previously soared as high as No. 3. Led Zeppelin released the Four Symbols in 1971. While several cuts from the effort, including 'Black Dog,' 'Rock and Roll,' and 'Going to California,' were promoted as singles, it was 'Stairway to Heaven' that stole the show, and it's that track continues to fuel the album's performance on the charts to this day.
