A pair of angry commuters have been filmed launching a vile attack on another train passenger who was sitting at the end of a row of seats.
The man found himself on the receiving end of a profanity-laced tirade while travelling on a Sydney train on Saturday night.
He was targeted by two other passengers – one male and one female – all for staying next to the aisle on an empty three-seater.

The man, who speaks limited English and recently moved to Australia, filmed part of the shocking encounter, and his wife transcribed a recording he made afterwards.
The incident began when the man did not move to the end of a three-seater after the person sitting by the window got off. He was preparing to deboard after another two stops.
According to his wife, the female passenger started to abuse the man before another commuter asked if he could get by to sit by the window.
Despite letting the person through, the man was verbally attacked by male passenger, who also filmed the encounter with his phone.
The bearded man, who claimed to be a security guard, said he would call the police before making a series of violent threats.
‘Hope I don’t bump into you in the street real soon pal, I don’t give a f*** if you’re recording or not,’ the angry passenger said to the man.

‘I’ll rip your f***ing head off and s*** down your throat.’
‘I think you screwed over the wrong person, sweetheart,’ the woman said afterward.
The commuter sitting next to the man defended him, however, and told the irate pair to leave him alone.
‘Why don’t you just say the same thing I said to him? Hey bro can I sit down there? He would’ve let you sit down,’ the third passenger was recorded saying.
The man’s wife said the incident left her husband shocked and upset, and he was unable to go to work on Monday as a result.
‘I’m speechless. I’m disgusted,’ she said.
‘I have no words to describe the outrageous behaviour of some people.’
She said she is speaking out to let others know to contact emergency services in similar situations.
‘Just want to let anyone know it is okay to call Triple Zero when something like this happens,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘And if they have limited English there is an interpreter because no one deserves to be treated like this.
‘He gave up everything he had to move here just for me … I just don’t have any words to describe how I’m feeling right now.’
