A self-confessed drunk man was filmed telling a Polish passenger drinking a beer on a late night train to ‘abide by English laws or get out’.

Oh, the irony.

He was seen kicking off at a couple for ‘grazing his knee’ as they walked past on the 11.15pm train from London Liverpool Street to Romford last night.

That’s when another passenger sitting nearby expected he would start confronting someone else, and got their phone out to film him.


And it wasn’t long before the man, who had dark hair and appeared to be in his 30s, kicked off at a passenger drinking a beer in the carriage.



He was filmed telling him: ‘You’re in Britain – you listen to the rules, you abide by the rules or you get out.’

Clearly offended, the passenger tells him to ‘shut up’ and invites him to take their conversation outside.

But the man continues: ‘I know you don’t understand, but I’ll explain to you so you can understand.

‘You see those rules up there, the ones that say you don’t drink alcohol.‘

The passenger interrupts him to say: ‘I’m not the only one! You are yourself drunk, you idiot.’

Undermining his argument a bit, he admits: ‘Yes, but I’m not drinking here.’

After being told to call the police if he cares so much, the man says: ‘I was born a bred here, you’ve come into this country. You abide by these rules.’

He adds: ‘Abide by English laws or get out.’

A woman sitting opposite the men puts the man to shame, with a measured response: ‘Yes, you should not be drinking beer, but you have no right to talk to somebody like that.

‘And to use their nationality against them is wrong.’

He stands up to challenge her, saying: ‘I was just trying to explain the laws of this country.’

But she replies: ‘No, no, no, you are using his race against him and it is disgusting, and because of your behaviour I don’t want to sit here.’

As she leaves the carriage, she adds: ‘People like you should be ashamed of themselves.’

The passenger who filmed the tirade told Metro.co.uk: ‘I’m glad there are people like this lady who aren’t afraid to stand up to bullies. No one else on the train voiced their opinion. Only she did and she was half their size.’
