Tom Harwood has been left furious after two fare dodgers simultaneously barged through the ticket barriers at a London Underground station, striding away without a backward glance as paying passengers looked on.
Having been left fuming by the incident, Tom took matters into his own hands and followed one of the men. He continuously questioned him on camera as to why he had done it.
Speaking about the incident on GB News, Tom explained: "I've seen so many people just push through the barriers, and every single time I see it, I think, Oh, I wish I could do that. I either tut, or it plays on my mind for ages.
"So I thought, do you know what? I'm going to get my phone out, start filming, and chase after him.

"It wasn't just him, though. There was also a guy next to him. I thought they were mates but they clearly went in different directions. It was just happenstance that two people, at exactly the same time, bashed through the barriers. So blasé about it.
"And it happens every single day. He couldn’t care less. Just strutting, ignoring you, no shame whatsoever.
"I mean, in this country, we don’t treat the system like that or at least we shouldn’t. There are rules we’re all meant to follow if we want to live in a decent society."
This comes shortly after the GB News host had gotten fed up on the tube and spent a Sunday morning scrubbing graffiti off the "riddled" Bakerloo line.
Tom explained: "The more people who get away with not paying, the less money there is for cleaning and maintenance. It's all connected."
His co-host Emily Carver added: "I hate seeing it. And yes, we're showing you London because that's where we are, but this happens across the country too at train stations up and down the UK.
Tom responded: "But it does make you think: Am I a mug?
"Am I a mug for paying my £2.60 for a single Tube journey every day, while people just bash through the barriers and face no consequences?"
Emily agreed: "It's like with benefits, isn't it? If you see your mate next door claiming disability when he's clearly fine, you start to wonder whether you should do the same."
Earlier this year, TFL said: "We are strengthening our capability to deter and detect fare evaders ensuring they face the consequences of their actions and that the cost of fare evasion is paid by the evaders, not our fare paying customers or taxpayers."
