The man replies that he will "follow" her.
He adds: "Let me say my part, I don't know why you're acting like that."

British Transport Police confirmed that officers had seen the video and were investigating it.
The force said: "We are aware of the video and investigating.
"No, we haven’t received a formal complaint and we would like the victim or any witnesses to come forward.
