Police threw a woman to the platform and arrested her on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly following an expletive-riddled rant on a packed train.
The woman, who was holding a can of Jack Daniels, began swearing and arguing with fellow passengers as members of staff tried to intervene.
Harry Jackson, 25, began filming the outburst, but the woman turned her anger on him and tried to grab his phone.

After being physically restrained by friends, the woman shouted “go on then, you little f****** p***, go on you f****** p***.”
Police removed the woman from the 19:05 from Doncaster to Hull train at Kirk Sandall station on Saturday, August 15.

The woman was not charged. British Transport Police said the woman was arrested and referred to undergo ‘a course’.
The train left Kirk Sandall towards Hull at 19:57, a delay of 45 minutes.
Warehouse worker Mr Jackson, who films protests in his spare time, had been travelling back from a protest in Long Eaton, when the incident occurred.
He said: “Over the last couple of decades I think standards in society have dropped severely – what we wear, what was unacceptble to do in public is now acceptable. We are now seeing more and more degenerate behaviours.
“The majority still view it as unacceptable, but the crowd that think it is or who can’t help themselves is getting bigger regardless.”

A spokesperson added: “We were called at 7.20pm on 15 August to reports of a fight on board a train travelling between Doncaster and Hull.
“Officers attended Kirk Sandall Railway Station and a woman in her 30s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly. She was dealt with by way of a community resolution.”
A Northern Rail spokesperson said the company had “nothing to add.”
