Watch: Man threatens to ‘knock out’ woman on Central Line before passengers step in

A man screamed vitriolic abuse at a woman on the Central Line saying he would “knock you out” before passengers stepped in and wrestled him away.

The British Transport Police have issued an appeal to trace the man, who square up to the woman before he is pulled away.

The shocking footage was thought to be filmed this weekend as a Central Line train approached Bank station.

Clips of the horrendous incident have gone viral on social media.

It is unclear what sparked the argument, however the footage shows the man, clad in jeans and a navy t-shirt, standing in the aisle screaming at the woman in the doorway.

He shouts: “Step to me, step to me.

“I f*****g dare you.

“P***y, there you go, there you go, p***y.

“Oh, I’m such a hard man because I said I would f*****g smack you around.

“Don’t f*****g try it.

“Don’t start on me, I’ll knock you the f*** out you c***.”

The brave woman responds: “If you call me a c***, I’ll call you a c***.”

The thug then storms over and squares up to the woman, leering over her.

Finally bystanders step in, and pull him back away from the woman.

He tries to fight back but slips over.

The Twitter account @girl_boss2 said: “The girl in the video is my brave, beautiful friend.

“Please share so we can find out who this disgusting piece of s*** is.”

A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “British Transport Police is aware of a video circulating on social media showing an incident on-board a Central Line Tube service.
