This is the moment Robert Jenrick confronted fare dodgers on the London Underground, asking if one of them was carrying a knife.

The shadow justice secretary shared footage of himself approaching three men at Stratford station in an attempt to show the extent of lawbreaking in the capital.

He can be heard asking one of them if they have a knife on them - as he questions why they think it is alright not to pay.

Mr Jenrick, who previously ran for leader of the Conservative Party, said: 'Do you want to go back and pay like everybody else?' He then said: 'But everyone else has to pay.'

One of the alleged fare dodgers who was, wearing a black coat and baseball cap, told him to 'f*** off'.
