THIS is the moment a passenger hauls a man off a Glasgow bus for not paying his fare.

The shocking moment erupted on a First Bus service in the city last night.

The pair got into the altercation on a night service in the city, which was filmed and posted to social media.

Following threats thrown at each other, the law-abiding commuter finally lost their temper and took matters into their own hands.

They began manhandling the fare-dodger all the way to the exit, much to the amusement of fellow passengers.

Video shows the moment that the passenger is approached by the passenger, who appears to be wearing some sort of long blue jumper or dress, and a pair of headphones.

They walk down the aisle and approach the passenger, asking: “Have you paid your fare to get on?”

As the man confidently shakes his head, the unimpressed Scot replies: “Get off before you’re removed physically, I will remove you physically.”

The passenger swivels to hold the rail on the bus and explains that he will give the fare dodger five seconds to get off the bus.

However, the cheeky scamp opts to deliver a threat of his own saying: “If you touch me, I will f**k you up.”

This enrages the Glaswegian who rubs their face before grabbing the man’s neck and muttering: “You think you know everything do you? Get off the bus.”

As the fuming passenger, sporting a purple rucksack, begins manhandling their opponent towards the door, the helpless man can only scream: “Hey, hey, call the police, call the police."

The Glaswegian lays down the law to the man who seems unable to stop the inevitable, saying: “Go down there and pay a fare if you don’t want it.”

The bloke protests loudly, complaining that his bag has been left behind on the seat, but his pleas are ignored as another passenger then hilariously joins in on the scuffle.

The second bloke joins in, grabbing the fare-dodger and shouting: “You’ll get your bag, just get off then eh? I’ll f***ing do you, get off.”

The fare-dodger then finally realises he’s outmatched and relents, admitting defeat as he says: “Okay, I’m going now, okay.”

'The First Bus final boss'

Violet Mnikwa, 16, from Glasgow, told the Scottish Sun: "It was shocking. I've never seen anything like that before. It all kicked off because the guy refused to pay for his fare.

"It went on for about 40 minutes, shouting and screaming while the bus driver was sitting downstairs.

The outrageous clip was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “People make Glasgow.”

The video received over 11,000 likes with hundreds of comments from social media users who were left stunned at the scenes.

One said: “It’s just normal First Bus behaviour.”

Another added: “The First Bus final boss.”

A third commented: “The wee rub of the nose before removal.”

Another replied: “Why did he go for him like that? I’m actually howling.”
