Said the following about Aftab Ahmed:

“In November 2017 Aftab physically restrained a suicidal male for his own safety in the waiting area in the platform at the station for 30 minutes until the British Transport Police (BTP) arrived at the station.

The gentleman had come from a mental health hospital in London and had been stood on the tracks. Aftab worked with the London Underground (LU) staff to restrain the gentleman, however LU staff praised Aftab - saying he was very much the hero of the hour.“
