A man has died after being hit by a train on the London Underground as he tried to save his brother, who had fallen onto the tracks.
The 35-year-old from London was trying to pull his 32-year-old brother to safety at Old Street station when they were both struck by the train at 12.20am yesterday.
British Transport Police (BTP) said they are not treating the incident as suspicious, adding that it appeared to be a "tragic accident".
The older brother was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he later died.
BTP said officers discovered the two men with serious injuries after being called to the Tube station.
"The men, one aged 32 from Manchester and the other aged 35 from London, were treated at the scene by colleagues from the London Ambulance Service and then taken to Royal London Hospital in a critical condition.
"The 35-year-old man from London died in hospital later that day. The 32-year-old man from Manchester remains in a stable but critical condition.
"Officers are not currently treating the incident as suspicious and are now working to put together a fuller picture of what happened."
