The Tube train driver who tried to help a teenager dying of stab
wounds on a station platform was allegedly ordered by his boss to stop
what he was doing and continue driving.

What this story fails to say is whether or not the driver did in fact
stop rendering assistance, to drive the train. A sensible course of
action would probably have been to wait until the paramedics arrived and
then claim to be too shocked to continue driving.

Am I right in saying that you could be charged with manslaughter if you
'Fail to offer reasonalbe assistance' to someone in need. Obviously what is
reasonable could be open to interpretation, but perhaps a visit from the
local Constabulary to the home of the LU manager to interview him might
shake him up a bit. Also a good case for naming and shaming I would have
thought (again the manager).
