'I'll knock you the f**k out': Moment Tube passengers jump to woman's defence after vile thug tries to attack her on busy Underground train
This is the shocking moment passengers jumped in to defend a woman being targeted by a vile thug who was threatening to attack her.
In the video which was shared online, the man can be seen hurling abuse at the woman and making threats.
He can be heard shouting: 'Oh you think you're going to hide behind the fact you are a woman.
This is the moment a man hurls vile abuse and threats at a young woman onboard a central line tube service in London, threatening to knock her out in front of shocked passengers
'Come step to me, step to me. I dare you, I f*****g dare you.
'Oh I'm such a horrible man because I said I'd smack you in your mouth. Don't f*****g smile.'
The woman, who is smiling, can be heard engaging with the man but it is unclear what she is saying.
The man can then be heard shouting: 'Don't taunt me or I'll knock you the f**k out you c***.
The woman can then be heard responding: 'If you call me a c*** I'll call you a c***.'
At this point, the man then charges towards the young woman and squares up to her, backing her against the door of the carriage and a Perspex partition.
