A young mother told a court how she feared she and her nine-month-old son were going to die after one of the alleged July 21 bombers fired his rucksack device in front of her.
Nadia Baro described how she heard a bang and then saw a foam-like spongy substance leaking out of a rucksack being worn by Ramzi Mohammed.
"I was in such a panic," she told Woolwich Crown Court. "I did not know how a bomb worked and I thought we were going to die now."
Mrs Baro described how she then tried to flee the carriage. "I was just running and I ran to the next carriage," she said. "The firemen helped me to push the buggy out."
Mrs Baro had been sitting in the middle section of the Northern Line tube train as it travelled between Stockwell station and Oval on July 21, with her child's buggy facing her.
She told the jury how she was not paying too much attention initially to what was going on around her as she was busy with her nine-month-old son.
As the train approached Oval station she stood up to prepare to get off which was when she noticed the person next to her was wearing a rucksack. She said she then heard a bang.
"I noticed the person next to me had a rucksack on and something came out of it and fell onto the floor," she told the jury. "I just realised that something was going on because of what happened on July 7. I was in panic and I tried to get away from him."
Mrs Baro describes the substance seeping from the rucksack as being like a sponge or a foam with "bits of nails on it". She also said she could smell something funny, "like the smell of oil".
She was helped out of the carriage by firefighter Angus Campbell.
