Man dies as couple fall on tracks

Police are not treating the death as suspicious

A 25-year-old woman is in a serious condition after she was struck by a Tube train which killed her friend.

Gustav Claassens, 20, from South Africa, died on the tracks at Tooting Broadway station, south-west London, at 0024 GMT on 2 December.

The last northbound Northern Line train of the day was approaching the platform when the couple fell.

Police have been examining CCTV footage of the fall, which was not being treated as suspicious.

British Transport Police (BTP) are appealing for witnesses.

"We want to speak to people who were on the platform at the time to better understand what took place before the incident," said a BTP spokesman.
