Man repeatedly kicked in head during mass brawl on station platform after row on train
THIS shocking footage shows a man repeatedly kicked in the head after a mass brawl broke out between two groups of men on a train and spilled out onto the platform.
Disturbing scenes filmed by a witness showed one man being repeatedly kicked in the head while he was down and another was seen bleeding on the ground after being pummelled at Harpenden station in St Albans, Herts.
Kicks and punches flew as the rival groups battered each other for several minutes, while brave onlookers desperately tried to stop the violence.
It is not known what sparked the clash but footage showed a heated disturbance on board a train moments before the fight kicked off.
The video, which went viral on Sunday night, shows several fights breaking out on the platform, as a woman briefly caught up in the brawl shouts: “Don’t touch me, you F****** idiot.”
A thug in a black coat spots a rival fighting with another man on the floor and runs up and boots him in the head while his guard is down.
While he reels from the blow, the attacker kicks out again and again as the person filming shouts: “Oh, s***.”
As more fighting continues, another man is seen locking a rival in a chokehold on the ground – who holds his face to shield himself from incoming kicks.
He manages to wriggle free and tries to get up but is shoved back to the ground and kicked repeatedly in the head by several men.
A final clip shows him lying bleeding on the floor as bystanders rush to his aid.
A British Transport Police spokeswoman said: “Officers were called to Harpenden station at 3.26am on January 25 following reports of a large fight on the platform.
“Three men, aged 18, 21 and 22 were arrested in connection. They have been released under investigation while enquiries continue.”
