A desperate commuter flung fellow passengers in the path of a man chasing him through a busy London Underground station.

The bizarre pursuit was caught on camera at Earl’s Court, London after a scuffle broke out during Monday afternoon.

The passenger picks up a leaflet stand and wields it as a makeshift weapon to fend off another man in a long black coat.

He then swings another bemused passenger into the follower’s path in an attempt to put some distance between them.

He finally escapes when he forces his way through a wide aisle ticket barrier and his pursuer fails to do the same.

A video of the incident was posted to TikTok, with user @ellumsy3 captioning it: ‘Bro was trying to steal his watch.’

A second clip shows Transport for London (TfL) staff and two men pinning the wannabe-thief down as he screams.

‘Bro got caught,’ @ellumsy3 said.

The man, in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of common assault and taken into custody.

British Transport Police (BTP) said: ‘Officers were called at around 1.40pm yesterday [Monday] to a report of a man attacking staff and a member of the public at Earl’s Court Underground station.

‘Members of the public had detained the man prior to police arrival and a man, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of common assault and taken into custody.

‘Although enquiries are ongoing, there is currently no suggestion that the incident was related to an attempted watch theft.’

A TfL spokesperson added to Metro: ‘Everyone should feel safe and be safe when travelling in London. We are investigating this footage and we encourage anyone who witnessed or experienced this incident to report this to the BTP.’
