The horrifying moment a woman ‘hit a female cop in the face’ and left her crying in the corner of a train carriage has been captured on camera.
Officers attempted to restrain the female passenger on the train as it stopped at Birmingham New Street Station.
Footage which went viral on social media shows the woman yelling verbal abuse at police before she seemingly hits the female cop and leaves her sobbing in the corner.
British Transport Police officers shout ‘calm down now’ as they try to get the passenger under control.
Meanwhile, another officer stays with the female cop to check her wellbeing and appears to call for medical assistance.
The passenger is held to the ground outside the train while one person can be heard saying: ‘She’s kicking the police officers.’
The female officer stays crying on the floor, remaining in the same position as concerned staff and passengers ask after her.
One officer then shouts at the female passenger to ‘stop resisting’ as they try to restrain her.
