0:00:27 > 0:00:29Already, there are suggestions for a 'loud speaker system' -

0:00:30 > 0:00:31to give public safety advice.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Here's Sarah Harris.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Back to its bustling best, Oxford Street customers

0:00:34 > 0:00:35starting their Christmas shopping in earnest as

0:00:35 > 0:00:37relaxed as that can be on a busy Saturday.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's a far cry from the panic on the streets yesterday, as

0:00:40 > 0:00:41darkness fell.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43With many wrongly thinking that shots had been

0:00:43 > 0:00:50fired.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Mustapha runs a restaurant a stone's throw from Oxford Circus.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54He says one of the problems was not

0:00:54 > 0:00:55being given direct information by

0:00:55 > 0:01:00official sources, fuelling the mayhem.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02They're running around and screaming, so whoever came here,

0:01:02 > 0:01:04they were in one shoe, they were hurt here and there,

0:01:04 > 0:01:06but it was all panicking.

0:01:06 > 0:01:16We tried to take people in, they needed help, you see.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24senior Met officers to call for loudspeaker systems to be

0:01:24 > 0:01:26installed like the ones in the City.

0:01:26 > 0:01:36They say there are improvements to be made.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38I think we are relieved obviously, it was a false incident.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42operationally.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44And social media, there is a lot of misinformation out

0:01:44 > 0:01:45there.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48So we have to learn that lesson, think about the command and

0:01:48 > 0:01:50the control and where the calls come from.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53There's no doubt with so many shops shutting early, millions of pounds

0:03:24 > 0:03:25devastating kick.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I've always seen punching and kicking in my life.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31I'm streetwise, to be fair, if you look for trouble,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34When I go into that professional environment

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Got brought to the hospital, breaking two parts of my leg.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02So if you can imagine just two years old,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05and the impact of being hit by a car just two years old.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08The doctors said I would never be able to walk again,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I broke two parts of my leg and my femur.

0:04:36 > 0:04:44So I want to be one of them people who come off and says,

0:04:44 > 0:04:49"I'm an Olympic champion and I've done it."

0:04:49 > 0:04:53And something tells me he might just do it!

0:04:53 > 0:04:53And something tells me he might just do it!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55And something tells me he might just do it!
