A GUNMAN seized £8,500 from

a camera shop in Baker Street

yesterday, shooting an assistant

who tried to stop him.

A passerby - 24-year-old secretary

Vivien Ford - saw the smartlydressed

robber running from

the shop and followed him

along Baker Street and into I

Baker Street Tube Station.

When the man got on to a

southbound train, she ran up to

a London Transport official,

shouting that he should stop the

train because there was a gunman

on it.

"This woman appeared on the

platform shouting for us to stop

the train because there was a gunman

on board,"station foreman David

Stokes, 48, said later. "We did

so, although I suppose it was risky."

The staff shut the doors of the

train, locking the robber in with

the passengers. Police sealed off

the station and searched the train

coach by coach until they found

and arrested the criminal.

"Many of us didn't know what was

happening," said a passenger. "It's

a good thing nobody panicked."

A London Transport spokesman

praised the staff for stopping the

train. "It was a difficult situation

for them," he said, "but they did

the right thing."

The shop assistant, Mr Peter Cartwright,

37, was "in satisfactory

condition" in hospital yesterday

evening following an operation on

an arm wound.

Last night a man was helping the

police with their inquiries.
