This is the shocking moment a man ran around a London Underground station attacking another male before being pinned down by hero bystanders.

Extraordinary footage showed one man in a black coat and trousers chasing another man wearing a black shirt and white trousers around the Earl's Court ticket hall.

Shocked onlookers watched yesterday afternoon as the victim tried to defend himself with a metal leaflet stand before the attacker ran after him towards the station exit.

The victim then ran back into the station as the attacker continued to give chase, pushing over a notice board as they both bumped into innocent bystanders.

He eventually managed to get away by pushing through a wide aisle ticket barrier - and when the attacker could not get through himself, he ran away from the scene.
