Wimbledon station commuters flee train in 'Bible' panic

From The BBC-

Passengers forced open the doors on a busy rush-hour train and climbed on to tracks after becoming "panicked" in the carriage.

It happened outside Wimbledon station in south-west London at 08:30 BST as a man apparently began reading lines aloud from the Bible.


Commuters became scared when the man also began saying "death is not the end", a passenger said.
Rail power lines were cut as passengers "self-evacuated", police said.


Trains on the route were disrupted for nearly 12 hours, but are now running normally.


Ian, who was on the train, said the man's Bible-reading led to a "commotion" and a "crush".


He said someone then asked the man to stop speaking "as he was scaring people" and "the guy stopped and stood there with his head down".
