TUBE UNION RMT has demanded action from tube bosses over rising levels of violent assaults after another horrific incident at Warren Street Station on Friday ‎‎afternoon.  

The incident, which included severe levels  of physical violence and the suspect forcing his way into the control room and continuing his assault, is the latest in a line of similar violent acts against tube workers . 

Previous incidents include a well-documented and horrific assault at West Ham last year . RMT has been demanding assurances on the safety and security of staff in control areas but Friday's shocking events raise significant union concerns once again .

RMT Senior Assistant General Secretary Mick Lynch said;

“Friday afternoon has seen yet another serious assault on tube workers , this time at Warren Street, and the level and frequency of violent incidents appears to show no sign of slowing down. 

"After this latest assault, and a serious breach of staff safety and security in working areas, LUL and the BTP need to get a grip of this issue and provide our members with the safe and secure working environment  they rightly deserve “ 

“RMT will continue to mount a high profile campaign to press LUL and the BTP over this critical issue. “
