A mad video shows passengers fighting on a train after a row erupted about the wearing of face coverings.<\/p>\n

Four clips were filmed by witness Sophie Tasker and footage shows tensions building and then boiling over into a proper brawl.<\/p>\n

The videos, watched more than 400,000 times, shows a man shouting "wear a mask" at a group of people who retort "you're an embarrassment".<\/p>\n

Omicron has led to a return to rules of wearing face coverings over your mouth and nose while on public transport and most indoor venues such as museums, galleries, and shops.<\/p>\n

Frantic people try to simmer the ruckus down for the sake of frightened children but the other passengers grapple with each other over the train seats.<\/p>\n

A woman watching the carnage calls out: "There are kids on here. Little kids crying."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ms Tasker told Yorkshire Live it was "utterly terrifying" to watch. <\/p>\n

The fight broke out after the train left York station at around 8 pm on Saturday (December 11).<\/p>\n

Ms Tasker said: "Basically the bloke to the left with the bald head started questioning where people's masks were the moment the train departed from York.<\/p>\n

"He was told he was upsetting kids by shouting, to which he hurled abuse back."<\/p>\n
