by · Mail Online

This is the shocking moment a fight broke out between two men on a train after one refused to move his bags off a seat. 

The younger man, who was dressed in a white puffer jacket and matching joggers, was seen in a tussle with a man sitting down.

Video footage captured by an eye-witness shows how the angry train passenger bundled the man into his seat before thumping him repeatedly in the head. 

Other passengers could be seen moving out of the way, while others pleaded with the younger man to stop. 

The victim, dressed in a blue coat, black trousers and black hat, managed to stand up and was seen exchanging words with the young man before he exited the train. 

The row started because he wouldn't move his stuff off the seat, it is understood.

One horrified woman on the train screamed: 'Help, help.'

Another added: 'F****** hell.'

A third exclaimed: 'Oh my God, please.'
