British Transport Police have since said that the woman apologised to officers after the incident.

A spokesperson said: "A 32-year-old woman from London received a police caution after admitting an offence of obstructing an officer in the execution of their duty."

The spokesperson also said that only a "low-level" of force was used to restrain the woman.

The footage of the September 10 arrest shows the woman yelling: "see what the police are doing.

"Nobody gives a damn."

She also yelled "Black Lives Matter" while claiming that officers were hurting her elbow while restraining her.

One commuter shared the video, writing the incident happened at Stratford station.

They said: "Did they really need 6 police officers to take her down."
