The video starts with the opponents already locked in a fierce stand-off.
Both stand perfectly still as they size each other up before one launches itself forward.
It runs in a zig-zag toward its counterpart who then quickly turns and unsuccessfully tries to flee.
One manages to wriggle free before scarpering off with the other mouse in pursuit. They clash once more before shooting off toward an exit and out of view

Ms Lord shared the clip, which had a dramatic backing track overlaid, alongside the caption: ‘Fisticuffs at the tube stop.’
The station was largely deserted due to the ongoing coronavirus lockdown which has seen everyone but key workers warned to stay at home.
