Violent scenes were witnessed on a busy London underground train after a mass fight broke out between a group of men. According to Metro, the fight broke out on Saturday night with the incident later reported to police on Sunday. A video of the incident which has gone viral on X shows a few men throwing punches and kicks at another person as he is dragged through the train door. He tries to defend himself and throws a few punches as soon as he gets back on his feet.
Meanwhile, onlookers could be heard screaming expletives and pleading for the fight to stop while others were seen moving away from the chaos. Later, a Transport for London (TfL) staff member was seen intervening and separating them. The motive behind the fight remains unclear.
