The man who copped a drenching on a Melbourne train after asking a woman to turn her loud music down says he did nothing to instigate the attack.

In a carriage packed to the brim with people on Friday morning, one woman playing loud RnB cared little for the many glares of her fellow commuters.

Jeremy Hewitt hopped on the Sunbury line train where only "half a seat" was available next to the woman, although he said she did not offer it to him.





"Her handbag was on the seat and I asked her to move it," Hewitt said.

He told Yahoo7 he picked up her bag and moved it to the floor before sitting down. Soon after taking his seat, the woman "heaved her body" into him.

Other passengers began looking at them when the woman started playing her loud RnB music.

Then she squirted him with water and "heaved her body into him" again.

"Everyone was universally pissed off at them," Hewitt said.

Hewitt got up and moved to the seat behind him, offered by another woman. Then he got his camera out and started to record.

The woman who offered Hewitt the seat asked off-camera if she would "turn the volume down".

"Have some respect," the woman added.

An instant later, the RnB fan turned around indiscriminately sprayed her bottle of water at everyone sitting behind her.

"Are you f***ing dumb," she says, letting loose another squirt of water.
