Strike! Standard man attacked outside Metronet HQ

6 September 2007

By Patrick Smith

An Evening Standard photographer covering this week's London Underground strike was attacked outside the offices of Tube administrator Metronet by an unnamed man who "went berserk" without warning.

See  http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=6&storycode=38702&c=1

I have a feeling the Press Gazette took this from indymedia video... but can't find it.

Can the videographer get in touch to give permission to reproduce the still?
