S-a aşezat pe scaun în metrou şi a avut parte de un ŞOC

Un pasager al metroului londonez a avut parte de şocul vieţii sale după ce a găsit un scorpion viu carre încerca să îi intre în rucsac.

Stunned commuters looked on as the stinging visitor was found dangling from the man's bag while waiting at Victoria Underground station in London.

Fortunately London Underground staff arrived rapidly on the scene to pinch the unwelcome guest - who was given a plastic lunchbox pierced with air holes as his new home.

Specialist wildlife crime officers from British Transport Police (BTP) went to the station to remove the creature, which had been put on a shelf in the station manager's office.

Pc Mike Charnick, who dealt with the incident, said: "There is a surprisingly wide range of wildlife on and around the railway network but this is the first time I've come across a scorpion.

"Station staff did a great job containing the animal and keeping it safe until we arrived.

"I contacted London Zoo and made arrangements to take the animal there to be assessed."

Keepers specialising in invertebrates safely housed it and contacted experts at the Natural History Museum to check exactly what type of scorpion it was.

It has been identified as a Centruroides - a potentially dangerous species - which may have come from the Caribbean.

Dave Clarke, bugs team leader at ZSL London Zoo, said: "It is bizarre that this species was found in somewhere like Victoria station. We have been keeping the arachnid safely and securely whilst establishing an exact identification of the creature.

"The scorpion really is a beautiful animal and it's a shame that it has been exposed to such a stressful situation."
