London tube shuts down as lady jumps to get her phone!

• When the station workers refused to get her mobile phone, she jumped on the tracks herself.

A woman jumping on the tracks of the London tube brought the four lines to a grinding halt on Thursday.

The incident happened when one woman dropped her mobile phone onto the track and jumped to retrieve it. Her action brought the metropolitan line in east London to a halt for a couple of hours. According to a report in Metro, the woman argued with the station workers to get her mobile phone and when they refused, she jumped to get it herself.

The Aldgate East station has to be closed during the busy rush hours to bring the situation under control.

Travellers took to Twitter to express their disbelief about the incident.

Hello, person trespassing on the track in the vicinity of Aldgate East: everyone trying to get home on the District and Circle Lines would like a chat with you about your life choices. ??- Kate 'very stable genius' Bevan (@katebevan) January 18, 2018


I went past Aldgate East and the police were still with her. I think she dropped her phone from the bridge bit over the platforms and they were refusing to get it for her. So she was stupid and went to get it herself...- Christine Jagger (@RandomPanda1989) January 18, 2018
