Commuter’s disgust at man brushing his teeth and spitting on the platform at Euston
A MAN has been caught brushing his TEETH while waiting for the Tube this morning.
The commuter was snapped performing the morning task at Euston station - before spitting on the ground.
He left fellow commuters horrified this morning, with the photos likewise leaving Londoners aghast.
Melissa Therms shared the photos on Twitter this morning, writing: "Disgusting behaviour at Euston station this morning.
"Packed platform and this man starts brushing his teeth and spits repeatedly on the platform."
And she later added "not a soul" had challenged the man.
She told The Sun Online: "I hope he’s okay, but also think that the tube isn’t the place for this sort of behaviour.
"He was relaxed - not more rushed than anyone else on the platform."

She added: "I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"He then proceeded to spit on the platform and boarded the next train.
"People just sort of shifted but no-one said anything. I didn't see any toothpaste but he could've applied it beforehand."
The commuter appeared ready to go to work, wearing a blue business shirt and black trousers while carrying a black backpack.
And the pictures shocked many people online - with one lamenting: "Society has completely broken down".
Another added: "You mean to tell me this man left his house with his frouset mouth and decided to use the station as his own personal bathroom?!?!?!?!"
And another added: "Please tell me someone confronted him??"
A third even questioned why the man hadn't been able to get out of bed three minutes earlier to perform the task.
Another suggested chewing gum would have been more appropriate if the man was self-conscious about bad breath.

Transport for London's chief customer officer, Mark Evers, said: "It's important that everyone is able to travel comfortably and we run regular Considerate Travel campaigns to raise awareness of how we can make travelling easier for fellow passengers.
"This includes encouraging people to look up to see if a fellow passenger may be struggling to stand and needs a seat, and encouraging people not to play loud music, eat smelly food or wear a backpack on a crowded vehicle.
"Clearly, spitting is unacceptable behaviour and is completely at odds with the work we do to ensure everyone has a pleasant journey."
