Moment Racist pensioner gets beaten up on London bus after calling black passengers 'monkeys'

This is the shocking moment a racist pensioner is beaten up by two black passengers after he called them 'monkeys' on a bus in north London yesterday.  

The confrontation took place on a street around Edgware at around 6

The video was posted by Instagram user @jayjaydax who claimed that the man had racially abused the group of young passengers prior to the fight - calling the group 'monkeys' and 'n******'.

She wrote: 'We had just gotten on the bus, we decided to stand because the back had a couple people. My cousin was leaning on the hand bars and the man randomly pushed his elbow off. So he did the normal thing and turned around confused and asked, ''Why did you push my arm off?''

'The man then replied by shouting don't talk to me you monkey which is when my friend turned around and said what did you say.

'We were all so shocked and then the man proceeded by shouting ''Stop talking to me you monkeys, f*** off'' repeatedly.

She claims that another passenger on the bus reported the elderly man to the bus driver who called the police.

But she adds: 'The bus driver called the police on the white man but they clearly didn't get there in time. The man then began calling us n***** and saying we shouldn't be on the bus. He then kept coming forward as if he was going to push us.

'But then as you can see in the video, he ended up actually swinging for my friends which is why they hit him. It was simply self defence.'

The camerawoman said that the other bus passengers advised that the group leave the scene before the police arrived at the incident: 'Everybody on the bus suggested us leaving. They all already know how the system is. We would have been arrested.'

At the start of the clip, a young male in the group asks the old man: 'So we're all monkeys? I'm a monkey yeah?'

The pensioner retorts: 'F*** off! Yes you're a monkey.'

In the next clip, the black passenger vows to hurt the pensioner but his friends attempt to restrain him and beg him not to fight.

However, the young male continues raging and says: 'I'm going to f*** you up! Get off the bus!'

Hearing this threat, the furious pensioner gets up from his seat and starts to approach the younger man. 

He shouts: 'Come on and come back I got ya!'
