Doesn’t say. Don’t know if they would normally use foil unless burns.
Scary place Shields
(Obviously I hope this isn’t serious and that the staff member in question is ok)

Heard it was a stabbing. The victim was being attended by paramedics . He was still lying there more than an hour afterwards wrapped in a foil blanket

They'd use it if they needed to keep him warm until they could get him to hospital, which is possible given that Shields metro station in December isn't exactly tropical.

The attack was foiled.

They would use it for anything just to keep core body temp up. May be in shock.
The metro twitter says it’s an incident of anti social behaviour, is that downplaying it?

Don’t they do that for people suffering from shock?
Really hope it’s nothing worse.

Might leave it as it sounds serious.
