British Transport Police say they have arrested a man who had claimed to have a bomb on the rail tracks at London's Charing Cross Station.
Police say the station was evacuated and trains were told not to stop at Charing Cross as they responded to the incident during the Friday morning rush hour.
No one was injured.

They say they are now working to reopen the station as soon as possible. 
British Transport Police added: "We are now working to reopen the station as soon as possible."
Footage on social media showed a large police presence including armed officers at the station which handles services to the capital from southeast England.
Britain is on currently on its second highest threat level of "severe", meaning an attack by militants is considered highly likely.
