Bloke appears to brazenly ‘smoke crack’ on London Underground
A shocking clip has appeared of a man smoking what appears to be crack cocaine on a packed tube in front of unamused travellers.
Police are now investigating after the video emerged of the bizarre London Underground scene. In the viral clip, the man appears to hold a lighter, a glass pipe and a bag of white powder. The man sitting next to him looks disturbed and does the very English thing of looking away, while remaining seated.
British Transport Police said: "We're aware of this incident and officers are making enquiries." Anyone with information is asked to text 61016 or call 0800 405040 quoting reference 241 of 15/12/23.

Crack is a Class A drug and carries the sentence of up to seven years in prison or an unlimited fine if found in your possession by police. The drug can make users anxious, paranoid and depressed.
Even a healthy young person could risk a heart attack or a stroke if they take crack, such is the intensity of the high. Regular users of the drug can suffer breathing problems and chest pains. The drug is typically smoked through a glass pipe, tube, plastic bottle or foil.
This comes after a doctor was jailed for selling drugs using the name of a classic Star Wars character.
Shoaib Ahmad got busted when the cops found drugs sent to a mailbox he rented under a fake name but paid for with his own bank account. And rather comically, he was really into Star Wars and called himself "Imperial Storm Trooper" and "IST" on the dark web, where people can't see who you are.
He made loads of cash, more than £250,000 in just one year, by selling drugs for Bitcoin. The police also found out he was working with another drug dealer from Portsmouth.
