Dangers of London tube travel - encountered a fight on my way to work one morning

Piccadilly line, 30th December 2014.




The film captured is of the second argument the woman wearing the hooded jacket had with a lady passenger sitting opposite to me.

It all started with an argument that erupted during peak hour morning traffic between the hooded woman who is shown centre stage in the film and the bearded man sitting directly behind her. The woman initially started complaining because the man's foot accidentally touched her. She then escalated it and started using very strong vulgar language. Their argument finally died down after about 10 minutes but it was not after it was heard by several young children on the train. During this argument a lady sitting opposite to me told the hooded woman to mind her language as children we're hearing her abusive tirade.

That argument was not been captured in this film however the second argument initiated by the hooded woman with the lady that had earlier told her to mind her language has been captured and is shown here. The argument between the two eventually turned in to a brawl during london peak hour causing the train to stop and police to be summoned by the train driver. The hooded woman was eventually arrested and taken away in to custody but only after this film was shown to police.
