Controversial video of dancer pushed off train

Video footage of a man dancing wildly on a Tube train before being pushed off by a fellow passenger has sparked an online debate.

The eccentric dancer was filmed on a packed Central Line service to Epping, Essex, last week.

But after nearly EIGHT MINUTES of his energetic routine, the man was thrust on to the platform at Leytonstone, East London.

Before the doors closed, a smartly-dressed passenger standing behind the dancer pushed him out as other commuters cried "No. No."

He then cheered loudly and stuck his fingers up.

On YouTube, users have left a string of mixed messages some celebrating the pusher, others defending the dancer.

One angry viewer wrote: "That's assault really. I hope someone had the balls or heart to say to that guy who pushed him off what a c*** he is."

Another added: "That guy that pushed him is a p****, could of really hurt him."

But another wrote: "Hahaha!! Brilliant timing by that geezer he had time to finish his sandwich as well!!!"

Someone else commented: "Typical English thing to do...ignore him...I sometimes wonder what's happened to people's sense of humour. I'd be crying on the floor."

The clip follows this week's viral footage of an alleged fare dodger who was frogmarched off a train by another passenger. - www.thesun.co.uk
