Video footage appears to show a woman deliberately coughing on a man on a packed train in Sydney, Australia, before saying "I don't have a pandemic".
The two commuters came to blows on the Sydney intercity train after the man asked the woman to cover her mouth when coughing, amid the global coronavirus epidemic.
The video begins with the man accusing the woman of coughing without covering her mouth.
The woman argued: "I did not open my mouth when I coughed, I coughed inside my mouth."
When the man replied that she was disgusting, the woman appears to cough in his direction.
The man ripped off his headphones and said: "Are you serious? Did you just cough at me?"
The woman replied: "I don't have a pandemic."
The footage was filmed by ABC reporter Andy Park on Monday morning.
