Mayor says ‘there is no complacency’ as video appears to show insect on tube after outbreaks reported in Paris
The bedbug threat to public transport in London is “a real source of concern” after reports of outbreaks in Paris, the capital’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, has said.
A viral video at the weekend, which purported to show a bedbug on a passenger’s leg on the Victoria line and has been viewed more than 1m times, has stoked alarm that the UK could face similar problems to the French capital, where there has reportedly been growing numbers of the blood-sucking insects in flats, cinemas and trains.
