The footage appears to have been filmed by a passenger travelling on the train, thought to be in London

The argument appears to start after one of the Muslim women called one of the girls a 'white s***g'.

The video, is believed to have been captured on a train in December 2014.

One of the white girls retorts: 'Calling me a white s***g, that's racist, don't be f*****g racist.'

The Muslim girls - who say they are from Woolwich Arsenal - then invite the other women, who claim to be from Peckham, London, to a fight.

The group continue to hurl a torrent of abuse at one another, with the white woman wearing a baseball cap subjecting the two seated women to a torrent of racist and Islamophobic abuse.

One of the white women says: 'We don't mix, innit.

'White b***h? White s***g? You're lucky. I'm telling you.

'You think I don't know anyone?'

She then turns to her friend and says, 'I know you're pregnant. I will flip out on this girl and show her how much of a d***head I can be.

'I will show her.'

She also tells a man sitting with the women: 'I don't care if that's your family or not or one of yous (sic), I don't give a s**t she's sitting there with her headscarf on being racist.'
