THIS IS the shocking moment a train passenger screams “I’m gonna break your face” to a member of staff.
Throughout the video, he incessantly asks to access the train’s cafe bar despite the fact that it has already closed.
The chilling footage shows the passenger shouting at the staff member on the late-night London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train.
Remaining calm, the train worker tries to reduce the tension by asking the passenger to sit.
The worker can be heard saying: “I’m just gonna ask you to take a seat – come on, let’s take a seat.”
The passenger then raised his voice, shouting “I’m going to break your face. You’re lucky” at the worker.
Then, he waved his hand towards the managers while appearing to hold his mobile phone.
In response, the manager said: “Don’t point that in my face.
“I need to close the café bar. Don’t put that in my face please.”
However, the passenger continued to be aggressive and shouted “shut your mouth. Try it now”.
The shocking event has been confirmed to have taken place on March 16, though the train’s destination remains unknown.
The Sun has contacted the British Transport Police for comment on the incident onboard the train.
In a separate incident on board a train bound for King’s Cross on July 2, 2024, another man can be seen shouting at a ticket collector.
The first half of the video features footage of a passenger repeatedly swearing at and threatening a rail worker, insisting, “you’re going to lose your job.”
Meanwhile, the worker raises a hand to calm the man – prompting the passenger to accuse the railway worker of laying his “hands” on him.
The company chose to release the footage as part of “Rail Safety Week”.
The week is aimed at supporting staff who have been victims of abuse by passengers, while promoting sensible behaviour for train users.
A representative from LNER stated: “We’ve released camera footage displaying instances where our train crew have faced verbal abuse, threats, and intimidation. This aims to demonstrate how body worn cameras contribute to enhancing safety on the railway.
“The video clips have been shared during Rail Safety Week, an industry-wide initiative which aims to put safety at the forefront of people’s minds.
“To help protect our staff from aggressive and threatening conduct, LNER has implemented the use of 180 body worn cameras. In the past year, these cameras have been utilized over 12,000 times by teams both on trains and at stations.”
The video surfaced just as news came in that a man was arrested in London for allegedly having a gun, whilst on a tube platform.
Cops raced to Elm Park Underground station at 7am to arrest the 61-year-old.
Investigations into the incident are now underway and police are appealing to witnesses for more information.
A spokesperson for the police said: “Officers were called just after 7am today (June 19) to Elm Park Underground station following reports of a man in possession of a firearm.
“Officers attended, and a 61-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and taken into custody.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016, or by calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 109 of 19 June.”
