Passengers intervene to stop Labour MP being ‘hassled’ by man on Tube
- Labour MP Stella Creasy thanked London Underground passengers for intervening when she was harassed by a man on the Victoria Line.
- Ms Creasy is considering reporting the incident to the police and has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
- This incident follows a history of abuse and harassment faced by Ms Creasy, including from anti-abortion activists and a man who was jailed in 2014 for sending her violent messages.
- She was previously forced to install a panic button at her home due to threats received after supporting Jane Austen's image on a banknote.
- The incident highlights concerns raised by a recent cross-party inquiry, which warned that abuse and intimidation against MPs are undermining democracy, and called for a review of electoral law and enhanced security for political candidates.
