A heated row broke out on an Avanti West Coast train after a passenger told an NHS dentist to ‘go back to your own country’.
The male dentist was travelling from London to Manchester when he got into an argument with the woman sitting opposite him.
A video was posted on TikTok by @therealdrmero, capturing a two-minute verbal altercation between the two passengers.
At the start of the video, the woman tells the man to ‘go back to Morocco or Tunisia’.
The man, who filmed the altercation, explains that he was born in the UK, but the woman hits back, saying: ‘It doesn’t look like it.’
She then refuses to answer whether she is indeed British herself.
The man replies: ‘That is racist what you said, don’t disrespect me like that. You probably weren’t born here yourself.’
Later on in the video, a third voice can be heard saying that they ‘heard’ the woman’s comments which they described as ‘disgusting’.
