British Transport Police were called just before 4.40pm to a 'Customer Incident' within the Oxford Circus Tube Station, this quickly escalated into the Metropolitan Police responding with their Armed Units in high numbers.

Specifics as to what has happened are not yet available, however the Police have confirmed they responded to reports of gunfire both on Oxford Street and Oxford Circus Tube Station.

Armed Units responded as they would to a terrorist incident, however, information is not clear yet so as it stands the Police simply aren't taking any chances and are responding heavily.

People are being evacuated and told to take cover in buildings, get off the streets.

Police have done a sweep of the Tube Station and found no casualties 'yet'. Selfridges has also been placed under Armed Police lockdown, which would likely indicate they are searching for suspects and sweeping through the area.

London Ambulance and London Fire Brigade have also responded to the Incident.

One minor injury has been dealt with, from the stampede created upon the incident occurring.

Calmness has descended on the area whilst the Police continue their investigation into what has actually happened. Suggesting the threat to the public is minimal. No suspect, evidence of gunfire or casualties with gunshot injuries have been located at this time.
