This is the shocking moment two thugs unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks at two passengers on board a busy commuter train.

Footage shows a man and woman viciously assault their victims during a row over a sandwich thrown on a Birmingham-bound train late on Monday evening.

The woman appears to start the argument by demanding to know who threw a sandwich at her and accusing fellow passengers.

She said: "You were sitting there like a p***y going 'shush shush', so you obviously threw the sandwich.

"Now, as I said, I will punch you into next week, so you can tell me what the weather's like.

"Listen I will take off my wig right now and deal with both of you."

After taking off her wig, the woman launches an attack, aiming repeated blows at the sitting passenger, dragging her off her chair and onto the ground.

Her companion, wearing a hood, lunges at another male passenger and throws numerous punches at his head and wrestles him to the ground in a headlock.

The two victims then lie on the train carriage floor as their attackers hail a flurry of savage blows - including one nasty kick to the head of a passenger.

Thankfully, a concerned commuter intervenes to break up the fight.
