THIS is the shocking moment a man chases a passenger through a packed tube station.
Cops were scrambled to Earls Underground station in yesterday following reports staff and passengers had been attacked.
Shocking footage shows a fleeing man desperately using station signs and a magazine rack to defend himself during the attack.
Terrified passengers at the busy hub watch on as the attacker – dressed in a large puffa jacket – continues to chase his target.
The man fends off his chaser before sprinting up and back down stairs leading to the exit.
The pair continue to tussle with each other and barge past onlookers as the wild goose chase carries on into the building.
Members of staff at the busy station had also been targeted, according to the Met.
A man was arrested and taken into custody.
In a statement, the force said: “Officers were called at around 1.40pm yesterday (23 June) to a report of a man attacking staff and a member of the public at Earl’s Court Underground station.
“Members of the public had detained the man prior to arrival and a man, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of common assault and taken into custody.
