In a shocking incident captured on a London Underground train, a WrestleMania like fight broke out, which left other passengers horrified. The disturbing scenes, recorded by a fellow commuter, shows four men engaged in a violent clash while the train is standing at an Old Street station. The footage captures a bald man being forcefully dragged onto the platform by three others, who proceed to kick and punch him. As the chaotic scene progresses, the lone man retaliates by kicking the other three people and the brawl intensifies until a Transport for London (TFL) staff member intervenes. Amidst the fight, they are also heard saying awful things about each other, while passengers scream to end the violence and distance themselves from the scene. As per reports, the British Transport Police has launched an investigation into the incident.
The disturbing footage begins with a man being forcibly dragged onto the platform, who is then brutally kicked and punched from his attackers. One of the attackers aggressively grabs his shirt, pulls away his jacket and continues the assault. Upon standing, the bald man retaliates, but another person starts a fistfight. Throughout the chaos, shocked passengers can be heard pleading for them to stop, while one person tells, “it’s not worth it.” Eventually, the fight is stopped as one of the workers separates them.

A user found no humour in two grown men fighting and called it absolutely pathetic.
Nothing more funny than 2 grown men fighting. Absolutely pathetic. Bet their families are real proud.— antony basher (@AntonyBasher) January 28, 2024
Another was relieved that no weapons were used but condemned the dangerous and selfish behaviour, expressing concern for other passengers and the worker involved.
Ugly scenes really but at least there are no weapons. Can’t say I really rate this behaviour though. It’s so dangerous and selfish. Not exactly fair for other passengers on board either. It’s also unfair on the TFL worker who has to get involved — Calvin McDonald (@CalvinMcnuggets) January 28, 2024
A user asked whether the fight involved football fans or if it was a random altercation.
