By DAVID WILCOCK, WHITEHALL CORRESPONDENT FOR MAILONLINE Published: 08:23 EDT, 2 December 2019 | Updated: 10:29 EDT, 2 December 2019 Former London mayor Ken Livingstone was involved in an
extraordinary bust-up with Tube staff this morning after getting his foot stuck in a train door. Mr Livingstone, whose former role saw him in charge of the London Underground, held up a
service for two minutes at Willesden Green in north-west London. In video footage posted online, he accused a TfL worker of trying to push him over and demanded he 'open (the door) and
let me get on'. In reply the harassed man tells him: 'Ken Livingstone, you should know better than this.' In footage posted by commuters online he can be seen from inside and
outside the train. One said that the door was 'blatantly closing' when the former mayor 'purposely stuck his foot in' and complained that the situation made him late for
work. Mr Livingstone was mayor of London from 2000 to 2008. The 74-year-old quit the Labour Party last year after being accused of anti-Semitism. He insisted to MailOnline today that he
had not been trying to deliberately get his foot in the closing door in order to board a train that was leaving. He said: 'Why would I deliberately - a 74-year-old man with arthritis in
his knees - want to have his foot trapped in the door? 'It happens. You often get caught by the doors closing on you. But I have never in all my life using the Tube not known the
driver to immediately open the door.'
