WATCH as a hero gran fearlessly stops a pair of thugs from dragging a fellow passenger off a rush hour tube and beating him on the platform.

The pensioner screamed "will you get off the train" at the two men after they tried to force a man off the train at Tottenham Court Road station in the West End.

Her heroic intervention was spurred by the two hooligans blocking the train doors and threatening to "smack you up" to another passenger.

The gutsy gran was told to "shut up" by the pair, who had allegedly gotten into an altercation with the third man on the packed London tube.

Taking to Twitter to share footage of the underground clash, the poster said the row began when the thug in the white T-shirt began staring at the passenger.

The Twitter user said the two men then "asked if he was gay and it escalated from there."

While the attackers tried to force the passenger off the train, the pensioner found herself caught in the middle as the doors began to close.

One of the attackers then shouted at the third man: "Are you mad, don't ever do that?" as the second yelled: "Come off the train, I'm going to smack you up.' 

As shocked commuters watched on, the gran then decided to bravely intervene.

She shouted the two men off the train and shoved them back onto the platform, saving the passenger inside.

After footage of the heroics rapidly spread online, people quickly rushed to support the peerless pensioner.

"This has made my day!" said one commenter.

Another said: "'He told the elderly woman to shut up and that's why we have mad issues in the community. Respect is gone, joke man."
