Man killed trying to save his brother from an oncoming Tube train

thetimes.co.uk - A 35-year-old man was killed trying to save his younger brother from being hit by a Tube train after a night out in London.

Nick Mann and his brother Robert, 32, were waiting at Old Street station shortly after midnight on Saturday after a night out at Rooz Studios, a music venue in east London, when the younger man climbed down onto the tracks.

Robert, who lives in Manchester and had been visiting his brother, is understood to have been trying to retrieve something from the tracks — possibly his wallet or mobile phone — after dropping it.
