- WARNING: Video contains strong language
An enraged Tube passenger kicked the window out of a train in central London after a station worker refused to let him leave.
Footage shows the shirtless man cause three large thuds to ring out at Euston before the pane of glass finally gives way.
Effortlessly, the out-of-control commuter then climbs out of the carriage before swearing at staff and strolling away.
The video has elicited a number of comments on social media, with many condemning the incident, saying ‘this is not good’.
One person said: ‘Now you’ve taken a train out of service for that.’
Another added: ‘Why’d he have to do that, come on.’
But others joked that they understood why the passenger had taken the drastic action as ‘panic sets in: heat and enclosed spaces can send you nuts’.
Someone said: ‘UK are so behind, when it comes to TfL. No adequate ventilation or nothing but billions on war?? Make it make sense!’

One social media user observed: ‘London is so weird. This guy literally kicked the door window down and people really juss (sic) standing there instead of walking/running away.’
British Transport Police have said they are aware of the video and are investigating.
A spokesman added: ‘We request anyone with information to contact us by texting 61016 and referencing 805-310-725.’
The shocking incident is just one of many to have taken place on London’s transport network in recent months.
The Daily Mail approached British Transport Police, the Met and TFL for comment.
A couple of weeks ago a brawl broke out on the steps of Highbury and Islington Station at rush hour.
Screaming members of the public attempted to intervene as a group appeared to hurl a man down the stairs and threw punches and kicks at him.
Footage captured the chaos as a smartly-dressed individual kicked the head of another in a grey tracksuit – and someone else threw a rucksack into the packed crowd.
Commuters attempted to break up the fight and help a mother and her baby in a pushchair get out of the way.
In another incident, on one side of the staircase a baby in a pushchair was crying as their terrified mother screamed
A toddler was seen sitting on the floor on their own while the men threw punches just feet away
Striking footage in a separate event showed a London Underground operative hard at work on a lion-themed garment as he pulled slowly out of Hendon Central Station
Horrified bystanders then rushed to pick up a toddler left crying on the floor as the chaos unfolded.
Another video of a different nature was circulated earlier this year – as it showed an easy-going tube driver knitting and watching videos on his phone at Hendon Central Station.
A witness who filmed the spectacle – which took place on the Northern Line train – commented disapprovingly, ‘look at him… watching TV, pressing a couple of buttons’.
He went on to reference the money the driver earns each year and claimed he can go on strike ‘whenever he wants’.
