An actress has shared a shocking video showing the moment she was followed and harassed by a man after she complained about people not wearing face masks on the Tube.

West End performer Corrine Priest - who starred in the Les Misérables stage show - says she was called a 'posh c*' and a 'sl**' by the man as she walked home from Hendon Tube Station in London on Friday.

The exchange apparently began after he overheard Corrine on the phone to her mother talking about people not wearing face coverings on the Tube.

Since June 15 it has been mandatory for passengers to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth for journeys on the Tube unless you are exempt.  

As the video begins, Corrine is seen filming herself as she is pursued by the man, who tells her: 'You're a dirty little f****** life.'

Speaking to the camera, she says: 'Someone is filming me, he is following me. I don't know what to do.'

She then turns to him and says: 'I don't want any trouble, I don't want any trouble.'

However, the enraged man shouts: 'Apologise now', to which Corrine replies that she is sorry.

Still following her, he continues: 'You said some guy wearing a mask, did you say it or not? You didn't directly do it to me no?'

Corrine retorts: 'No I did not, not to you, no I promise I don't want any trouble.'

The man says: 'I ain't threatening you yeah, but I've got people yeah if you want to mouth off like some rude girl.'

Corrine responds: 'I was speaking to my mum on the phone, it's not okay and now you're following me I'd really appreciate if you don't because it is quite intimidating.'

The stranger says: 'Intimidating yeah? I am an intimidating person.'

Corrine still filming responds: 'And you called me a posh sl** and a c*** that's unacceptable.'

A shaken Corrine posted the videos to Twitter shortly after the altercation, saying: 'Trigger warning. Just got harassed, threatened and followed home because I told my mum on the phone that people aren't wearing masks on the tube'

The man responds: 'Yeah well that's exactly what you are behaving like.'

The pair go on to have a back and forth on whether Corrine's comments were directed at the man for not wearing a mask, which she repeatedly tells him they were not.

The man asks Corrine to apologise for a second time, despite her already doing so.

What are the rules for wearing masks on the Tube 

On June 15, the Government made it mandatory for passengers to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth for the entirety of journeys made using public transport in England, including on the Tube.

Face coverings should be worn by everyone in taxi and private hire vehicles for the duration of their journey too.

Exemptions include people who have trouble breathing, children under the age of eleven and anyone who finds it difficult to manage them correctly. 

To support those customers who are exempt from wearing a face covering, TfL has introduced an exemption card that customers can print off and carry with them or display on their phone, which they can show if they are asked why they aren't wearing one. The man adds 'I've got two other sisters. I would never touch a girl, but it doesn't mean I can't f**** say what's on my mind.'

'Watch yourself yeah and don't behave like that.'

The argument continues as Corrine retorts: 'You and your friend coming to beat me up?'

The man shockingly responds: 'We can easily do that right now.'

Even as the clip ends, the man is still seen pursuing Corrine, making veiled threats.

A shaken Corrine posted the videos to Twitter shortly after the altercation, saying: 'Trigger warning. Just got harassed, threatened and followed home because I told my mum on the phone that people aren't wearing masks on the tube.

'These narcissistic men will continue to do this and it is dangerous. I am upset for us. I hate how scared I was. I had to be submissive for my safety.

'It is not ok that this s*** happens. It happened because I am a woman and I was alone.

'He walked away thinking he taught me a lesson and without apologising. He is reported.

'I feel it's my responsibility to share. I don't know, just stay safe everyone, there are some odd people out there.'

Corrine's post has been liked over 13,000 times and prompted outrage among social media users.
