- A fight breaks out at a crowded station as innocent bystanders look on.
This is the shocking moment a huge brawl broke out at Waterloo Station, with officers from the Metropolitan Police caught up in the chaos as they tried to stop the violence.
The horrifying footage shows hooded men jumping over the fence at one of Britain’s busiest train stations.
A group of men begin punching and shoving each other as several police officers intervene and attempt to stop the fight.
One of the officers fell and was nearly trampled by the crowd.
Bystanders at the station watch the gang violence on Saturday night.
More police then begin to appear from the other side of Waterloo Station, before setting up a cordon and the group dispersing.
Liverpool Street Station has replaced Waterloo as the UK’s busiest station, thanks in large part to the opening of the Elizabeth Line.
Waterloo still attracts 57.8 million visitors each year, ranking third after Paddington.
The brawl is the latest in a series of lawless incidents plaguing London.
A man is believed to have been assaulted in a street attack after a brawl broke out at a London bus stop on Friday.
Punches could be heard as the crowd watched, but there was no apparent attempt to help.
The man then stopped the assault and picked up the backpack, leaving the other man on the ground.
