A woman in her thirties, named Deborah Oscar, had a harrowing experience on the London Underground when she suspected she was targeted with a dangerous drug known as ‘Devil’s Breath’. Deborah, who was traveling on the Elizabeth Line, started feeling disoriented and drowsy after a stranger waved a newspaper in front of her face and then sat next to her in an empty train carriage.
Recalling a TikTok video she had seen about the effects of ‘Devil’s Breath’, Deborah decided to trust her instincts and quickly changed carriages before exiting the train. She noticed two men who seemed to be observing her as she made her escape.
Deborah firmly believes she was drugged that day, as the suspicious woman’s actions made her feel unnaturally sleepy and tranquil. Despite not detecting any unusual odors, Deborah’s vigilance and knowledge of the drug’s effects prompted her to take immediate action to protect herself.
The substance scopolamine, commonly referred to as ‘Devil’s Breath,’ can induce amnesia and compliance in victims, making them vulnerable to exploitation. Tragically, this drug has been associated with fatalities, including the case of a deceased Irish dancer and a scientist who lost his life while on vacation.
After sharing her ordeal on TikTok, Deborah received multiple accounts from individuals who had encountered similar situations in the UK and abroad. She emphasized the importance of staying alert and being prepared to avoid falling victim to such crimes.
In a cautionary message to others, Deborah urged people to trust their instincts and prioritize safety over politeness when faced with suspicious circumstances. The drug, ‘Devil’s Breath’, has been utilized by criminal organizations for criminal activities, highlighting the critical need for public awareness and vigilance.
Authorities from the British Transport Police acknowledged the circulating video related to the incident and encouraged individuals to report any suspicious incidents promptly. Reports of such incidents are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated to ensure the safety of passengers.
