Two women were filmed in a heated altercation on a train crowded with families on their way back from Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.
Video appeared to show the women in a shouting match, tussling and pointing at each other on the packed train returning from Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday.
Several other commuters and staff on the train tried putting an end to the fighting before one man finally managed to make those involved sit down and ‘shut up’.
The scene was captured by a bystander, Ronnie, who filmed the incident and later uploaded it to TikTok.
‘Heading back from the Easter Show with sore feet, full hands, and even this,’ Ronnie wrote in the caption.
‘Sydney Olympic Park, you were a blast!’
In the footage the women can be seen initially pointing fingers at each other and shouting before the black-haired woman’s partner appeared to become furious at the brunette woman.
‘Touch my daughter. You take your own advice lady because if you touch my daughter again you’re going to know about it,’ the man shouted.
‘You’re picking on an autistic five-year-old, grow up,’ his partner added.
The brunette told the couple they should never have had children.
‘I shouldn’t have kids? Why? What’s your reasoning,’ the black-haired woman shouted.
‘This is why we don’t like immigrants in our country,’ she added.
The brunette woman went on to call the other woman a ‘crackhead’ before a member of the train’s staff told both to calm down.
‘Stop everyone, we’re trying to get home safely. Everyone be quiet, relax,’ they said.
The situation did not resolve however until a large man wearing a Bulldogs shirt cut in at the end.
‘There are women and children in this train so just sit down and shut up,’ he said.
Aussies were quick to condemn the behaviour.
‘The immigrant card was so uncalled for,’ one said.
‘If the mum’s standing up for her kid then fair enough but what she should’ve done is removed herself from the situation and moved the kid away, not stay and make it worse,’ another said.
