Thousands of body worn cameras to be used by Transport for London staff

Thousands of Transport for London workers will start using body worn cameras to help protect from verbal and physical assault.

Figures show the cameras can dramatically reduce assaults by as much as 47 per cent and more than 4,000 will be rolled out.

Hundreds have already been given to TfL staff at King's Cross St Pancras, Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters.
