An explosion on a Tube train in south-west London is being treated as terrorism, Scotland Yard has said.<\/p>\n
Passengers were injured following the blast at 08:20 BST (07:20 GMT) at Parsons Green station.<\/p>\n
Pictures show a white bucket on fire inside a supermarket bag, but do not appear to show extensive damage to the inside of the carriage.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan Police said “a number of people” had been injured and advised people to avoid the area.<\/p>\n
It was too early to confirm the cause of the fire and the station has been cordoned off, the statement said.<\/p>\n
