This must be assault, if not planned, right?

It would be yes (technically battery as there was a physical impact IIRC). Perhaps plod will be looking to this fellow a visit in due course.

What is it with all these s on public transport videos recently, are they trying to warn people off?

It was pretty funny and sandwich mans timing was genius. Nobody was hurt, all the talk of assault and civil liberties is a load of media whipping it up bks.What happened to the British having a good sense of humour, this country really needs to seem to need to "man the fk up" at the moment

If the dancer was dancing on a more crowded train and getting in peoples faces then I wouldn't have minded so much.

But in this case he wasn't and seems to have been pushed off pretty brutally - who knows what happenes to him when he landed on the platform.

Plus he has had his journey cut short! Lets hope it wasn't the last train.

I find somebody eating on public transport more offensive than somebody dancing

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

What I find worst of all is the use of "of" in this sentence.
These people should be pushed under trains not off them.

In two minds about this a bit. Dancer was a bit annoying but harmless. Bloke who pushed him off very probly didnt hurt him but looked a bit of anopportunist bully.

Wonder if he'd mind being pushed off by someone at a stop.

I think it was all done as a bit of light hearted banter tbh.

BUT, if this chap was behaving in another odd manner, not dancing, I am not sure he's have lasted as long as he did.
Truth is, acting in a way that causes a distraction, can be very unerving to other passengers. However in this case, I suspect the guy just got a bit fed up of the chappy singing away and for a laugh, bumped him off the train!

I wouldn't go as far as to call it assault but it was out of order and a pretty smarmy thing to do to make himself look clever pushing the weirdo off the train.

I hate anything to do with working in London but on a normal visit its weirdo's like this who make my day.

Keep the weirdo's in London!

Are you intentionally being ironic?

Dancing with your knob out like that is just outrageous - he deserved to be pushed.
