The woman, who is thought to have been a stranger, was unharmed but the man was taken to hospital for head injuries.
A British Transport Police spokesperson said that emergency services were called to the Hammersmith and City Line just before 1.30pm this afternoon ‘following reports of a serious incident’.
They said: ‘It’s believed a man attempted to pull a woman onto the tracks, before being hit by the train himself.
‘The woman was thankfully unharmed, but understandably shaken up.
‘While enquiries into the incident are at an early stage, it’s not believed the two were known to each other.
‘The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and taken to hospital for treatment to head injuries.’
A passenger travelling on the Metropolitan Line shortly after the incident shared photos of his journey and tweeted: ‘Lots of police and weirdness on the Met line @TfL King’s Cross. No movement, lights off… no info’.
There were severe delays on the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines following the incident, with tickets accepted on London buses.
Police urged any witnesses who have not yet spoken to them to text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 266 of 29/08/22.
