| Manny, as you can see from the above post the facts about his clothing are unclear, and the family seem to be doing everything in their power to undermine the police.
To answer some of your questions; Until today it has been a hot summer (up to 30 Celsius in the shade at times). The tubes are definitely not air conditioned, in fact I take my jacket off when I am going down the escalators even in winter.
Also, the police who challenged him were not uniformed "Bobbies", they were plain clothed Special Branch (SO13) officers. They identified themselves as "Armed Police", most police officers do not carry firearms over here, and told the man to stop. At that point, running away seems like an admission of guilt to me. I have yet to hear a reason from the family why he did not comply with the orders from the police.
