Video footage from the scene of a stabbing at Leytonstone station in east London on Saturday night has birthed a hashtag of defiance across social media.
Following what the Metropolitan Police are treating as a "terrorist incident" - in which a man was Tasered and arrested after reportedly threatening Tube passengers with a knife - a video from the scene has struck a chord with Londoners online.
Footage recorded by rapper Big Tobz, sees an onlooker shouting "You ain't no Muslim, bruv" as police detained the suspected attacker, sparking Twitter users to adopt the cry as an act of defiance against "terrorism".
