ASLEF general secretary Mick Whelan backed a police call today for witnesses to come forward after a Tube driver was severely assaulted on the Jubilee line.
British Transport Police (BTP) say that a man boarded a train at Kilburn station at 10.40pm on Tuesday last week.
He threatened to shoot the driver, though no firearm was seen, and hit him over the head with a bottle.
