This is the astonishing moment a man exploded in rage at a woman in front of stunned passengers on a packed tube train.

The bespectacled man launched a furious tirade of abuse after he is said to have barged past a woman, who responded by saying ‘excuse me’.

Nick Craven, who filmed the man’s lengthy and expletive-ridden rant on his mobile phone, told MailOnline: ‘There was a big crowd of people trying to get on.

‘He basically shoved her out of the way and she said “excuse me.”

‘I had my hand on my phone — there were literally three sentences between them and he started bellowing all of a sudden.’

And in front of dozens of astonished passengers the man begins to scream and pointing his finger at the woman’s face.

He roars: ‘Don’t you shout at me, you stupid woman!

‘I am the last person you want to f******g start on, believe me!’

Another passenger wedges himself in between the two in a bid to defuse the situation.

The man was said to have started playing Sudoku to 'calm down'

The raging man seemingly calms down briefly before the heated exchange escalates to him shouting once again.

‘Everyone else was in shock and people were telling him to calm down,’ said Mr Craven.

‘I thought he was going to lift his hand. I think she [the woman] missed her stop and other people missed their stops as well — some people stayed to watch it.’

In a bid to lighten the now-solemn mood on board the Hammersmith and City Line train to Barking Mr Craven, of Liverpool, quietly begins singing Why Can’t We Be Freinds? by War.

The fiery incident took place in March when Mr Craven was studying for his law masters.
