London tube worker suspended over rant

A Tube worker has been suspended after footage of him yelling at an elderly passenger and calling him a "jumped up little git" emerged.

The images, captured by another passenger, show the man in conversation with a London Underground steward.



The worker then calls him a "jumped up little git" and a "little girl" before apparently threatening to "sling him under the train".

A Transport for London spokesman said: "We are appalled by the scene captured in this video and will investigate thoroughly and urgently what took place and what led to it. "We do not tolerate members of the public being abusive to our staff but neither will we tolerate members of our staff abusing members of the public."
