Man Hurt After ‘Reporting Something Unusual’

A man has been injured on the London Underground after reporting something unusual.

In a damming indictment to widely broadcast publicity campaigns, the 41 year-old IT professional was smacked around the head by a loose advertising fitting after spotting an unattended bag.

To add insult to injury, he was then barged onto a platform after being careful when alighting, sustaining minor bruising.

“Despite their assurances, I’ve been battered black and blue by tfl this morning,” the beligured commuter said.

“There should be a public health warning on those posters. I’m just happy a bit of caution didn’t kill me.”

A tfl spokesperson said they’re looking in to a new ad campaign to warn commuters on the dangers of taking previous ad campaigns too literally.
