Delhi Metro, often called the city’s lifeline, frequently turns into a stage for unusual incidents and fights. From passengers arguing over seats in half-empty coaches to dramatic brawls caught on camera, these episodes go viral online. They highlight rising impatience, turning everyday commutes into unexpected spectacles for fellow travelers.
Another unusual scene from the Delhi Metro has gone viral, adding to the long list of dramatic moments often witnessed on the city’s busiest mode of transport. This time, what should have been a routine journey turned into an unexpected spectacle when two women got into a heated fight inside a nearly empty coach.
The incident, caught on camera by a fellow passenger, showed the confrontation beginning as a minor disagreement before spiralling into a physical clash. In the short clip, one woman is seen forcing the other onto a seat while pulling her hair aggressively. The woman pinned down tried to push back, kicking and using her hands to shield herself from the repeated blows.
As the fight grew more intense, the women stumbled over seats while other passengers stood back, reluctant to intervene. A few attempted to calm the situation but their efforts did little to stop the chaos. At one point when the train halted at a station, a commuter quietly exited the coach, choosing to avoid the disturbance altogether.

The cause of the fight is still unclear, though some reports suggest it may have started over a seat. The irony, however, is hard to miss, the coach was largely empty, including the very row where the women clashed. The bizarre setting only amplified the reactions once the video hit social media, where it spread rapidly and attracted a wave of comments.
Many users mocked the altercation, calling the Delhi Metro a constant source of entertainment. Some joked about how even short journeys on the Metro often come with “long kalesh” while others pointed out the absurdity of fighting over seats when plenty were available. One comment described the fight as typical of “ladies’ battles” with exaggerated hair-pulling and little real damage. Another viewer linked the scuffle to a broader issue, remarking that people are becoming increasingly impatient, which is also reflected in the rise of road rage across India.
The viral video once again highlights how the Delhi Metro has become a stage for all kinds of public behaviour, from harmless social media content to more disruptive episodes like this one. While the Metro is widely seen as the lifeline of the capital, offering millions a safe and efficient daily commute, it frequently makes headlines for reasons that have little to do with transport. This incident is just the latest reminder of how quickly tempers can flare in public spaces and how such moments inevitably end up under the glare of social media.
