Two men got into a scrap on a London Underground station before continuing their fight on a train as it moves off.

Footage of the fight shows the men throwing punches and kicks at each other as bystanders try to split up the brawl.

Just as the scrap seems to be settling down, one of the men chases his rival on to the train and the fight kicks off again.

The pair are still battling each other aboard the busy tube as it takes off from what has been suggested as either London Bridge or North Greenwich stations.

The video was uploaded to the Facebook page 'London Crime LDN' yesterday captioned: "Two men fighting on the London Underground."

The clip starts with a man in shorts and a green t-shirt fighting another dressed in jeans and a jacket.

Both are grabbing hold of each other as bystanders start to crowd around the pair.

Each man tries to kick and punch their opponent as the sound of an approaching train is heard in the background.

At this point two other men try intervene and split the pair up. However man is able to throw in a few more punches at each other.

One peacemaker is heard shouting "stop" as the train doors open to allowing passengers to get off the train.

The two are momentarily separated from each other by the train crowd as the man in the green t-shirt boards the train.

However, he is followed by the man in the jacket who chases him on to the train and gets his leg stuck in the closing door.

The door opens once more and allows him to strike the man in the green t-shirt on the train.

Passengers are heard screaming in terror as the train leaves the platform with the two brawling men on board.

A man watching from the platform laughs as a woman picks up a blue bag which had been lying on the platform for the duration of the fight.

Some in the comments found the fight to be reminiscent of the brawls seen on the TV show 'Family Guy' between characters Peter Griffin and Ernie the Giant Chicken.

Shaun Hall said: "Reminds me of Peter Griffin and the chicken."

James Francis Vallely added: "I can see this fight continuing like Peter Griffin and the Chicken. The next video on the Tube, then up the escalator onto a bus up Tower Bridge. Taxi to the airport."

However, others feel relieved that no weapons were involved.

Sharon Hill said: "Great no weapons, makes a change."

Charles Jenkins added: "While the men are fighting each they aren't a threat to any one else , there's no weapons involved and eventually they will run out of energy and they would of went there separate ways."

Daniel Black wrote: "At least they didn't use knives old school this is how it should be (if this needs at happen)."

Kerry May said: "Least they used fists and not knives."

Hannah-marie Darcy added: "Love the way people are saying this is the worst fight ever like they want to see doom [or] someone really injured or stabbed... you don't know what people have on them nowadays.

"I'd rather see this then the same video of that poor boy stabbed to death in Maidstone."

However, Carolan Katrina believes this is a sad indictment on society that people are relieved this violence does not contain weapons.

She commented: "It's sad how we now rather fists because so many [people are] being stabbed and killed.

"Yet years ago that was seen as violent. How times have changed."

A spokesman for British Transport Police say they are aware of the footage and are looking into it.
