Sat on the central line & there's a man sat next to me w/ his hands down his trousers & he's clearly masturbating. He was scrolling on his phone at the same time & didn't care that the carriage was half full. I'm sick of this fucking shit I just want to go home @TfL @BTP

@BTP just been assaulted by a man in a green jumper outside of the station. Apparently he then went in and stole from a shop. You have no officers here, as always. I’d like to file a report and complaint with you.

@NaomiMu19558497 Hi Naomi, you can report this to us via text on 61016 or via our website: btp.police.uk/ro/report/lp/l…

@BTP hi could you please let me know who to contact regarding missing emergency items most likely stolen

Using a mix of plain clothes and uniformed officers, we're able to deter and disrupt phone theft and robberies. You might see our uniformed officers about, but you won't see our plain clothes officers working alongside them. If you need us, text us on 61016 📱

@AlPractice Good evening. I am sorry to hear this has happened to her but this does not sound like us to kick people out of the station. Was it definitely officers or was it rail staff. If it was officers then you can make a complaint through our website btp.police.uk

@BTP @BTP - is that good policing? I'm in contact with her right now to try and get her home

@BTP My 71-year-old mum has been visiting me in Nottingham this week. She got into St Pancras about 7 for her connection, and since then I've had multiple calls from her that you've locked her out of the station due to football fans, and that you've told her she's on her own.
