Two hopelessly outsized police officers confront an angry man at a train station who maintains his rage despite being pepper sprayed
- Two police officers tried to subdue a very large and angry man at train station
- The man, who towers over the cops, is unaffected after a dose of pepper-spray
- Second man can be seen sprinting away from the platform along the train tracks
The moment a large man is confronted by two police officers at a train station and appears unfazed by pepper-spray has been uploaded to social media.
The clip appeared on Facebook on Monday and shows the man towering over the two mask-wearing cops at Doonside train station in Sydney’s western suburbs as shocked commuters watch on from the upper level.
The clearly agitated man wearing track-pants and a baseball cap repeatedly swears at the officers, lunging at one and raising his fists in a sparring motion.
A second man can be seen in the background sprinting away from the situation along the train tracks.

One officer readies his pepper-spray and when the man moves towards his partner he fires off a cloud which clearly hits its target.
Despite a decent dose of the chemical – which can cause extreme irritation and temporary blindness – the man seem unaffected and continues his rant.
Many people viewing the clip commented on the man’s size compared to the officers.
‘Looks like a giant no wonder they stayed back. Either that or midget cops, there was a reason they used to have height restrictions,’ one person said.
‘Just because you’re big doesn’t mean you’re tough, calm down,’ another said.
‘What a tool, capsicum spray didn’t work though,’ a third said.

‘Yeah, what a waste of pepper spray,’ agreed a fourth.
Whether bystanders called police to the train station or they were on patrol when they encountered the man was not immediately clear.
