CCTV footage of mother and baby separated on a metro platform is staged

CCTV footage of mother and baby separated on a metro platform is staged

A video appearing to show CCTV footage of a woman being separated from a baby while boarding the Paris metro has been circulating online. But this is not real CCTV footage and the scene has been staged.  The black-and-white footage shows a woman struggling to lift a pram into a metro carriage when the doors close with the woman onboard and the pram on the platform. A time and location stamp suggests the incident took place after midnight on “Line 7”, while both the logo on the carriage and a sign for ‘Louis Blanc’ station suggest it was filmed in a metro station in the 10th arrondissement of Paris.  Some versions of the clip go on to show a man interacting with the baby and swinging the pram close to the edge of the platform.

Photo of busy train carriage is from Cairo, not Sweden

A photo of a train carriage where all but one of the women are wearing religious dress has been shared with claims it shows Malmö in Sweden, but it was almost certainly taken in Egypt.   One post, with more than 1,300 shares, says: “This is not Iran, this is Malmö, Sweden, which is occupied by Islam”.  However, this photo does not come from Malmö, which has no metro or tram system operating within the city (although a metro line connecting it to Copenhagen in Denmark has been proposed).  Skanetrafiken, the company responsible for public transport networks in Malmö, confirmed to Full Fact that “it’s not a picture from Malmö”.  Footage of trains that connect Malmö to other places in Sweden are visibly different to the carriage in the image.
