This is the shocking moment a man without a face mask was filmed spitting on the floor of a Tube carriage in front of horrified passengers.
The clip was filmed on a District Line train just before 5pm yesterday, as passengers approached Sloane Square in central London.
It is unclear what the man spat out but witnesses have described it as a white liquid.
The passenger who filmed the man claimed he also threw takeaway rubbish around the carriage in front of riders.

During the footage, the man leans forward and spits out a white liquid onto the carriage floor.
He then sit back and places his foot on the tube seat as horrified passengers stare with disbelief.
The footage, which has been widely circulated on social media, was shared alongside the caption: ‘No mask. Great pandemic behaviour.’
All passengers who used the Tube are legally required to wear masks at all times to stop the spread of coronavirus.
Those who don’t follow the rules can be kicked off the Tube or fined £200.
The penalty doubles each time someone is caught.
MailOnline has contacted British Transport Police and Transport for London for comment.
The scenes come as the UK was today plunged into a second lockdown amid a rise in cases across the UK.

Figures from the Department of Health today showed coronavirus infection rates had fallen among the under-40s last week but continued to rise in older people.
In its weekly report, PHE claimed per-person cases plummeted by a fifth (21 per cent) in teenagers during half term, while infections also declined among schoolchildren and people in their 20s.
Infections continued to rise in middle-aged and elderly adults, however, with the biggest increase among people in their 60s, whose cases grew by six per cent.
Although the second wave began with most infections happening among children and students, it has now penetrated older groups and led to surges in hospital admissions and fatalities.
In the UK in the week ending November 1 there were 96,000 fewer tests than the week before, despite a trend of swabs increasing by 100,000 per week throughout October. As a result weekly positive cases dipped, too, from 153,000 to 150,000.
Infections remain highest among people in their 20s, who had 333.6 positive tests for every 100,000 people between October 26 and November 1.
