This is the terrifying moment two 'XL Bully' dogs launch a frenzied attack on a platform by an oncoming train after a woman allegedly lost control of the beasts.
Footage taken at Stratford station shows a woman standing over a dog with white and light brown fur. She appears to fit a harness on the large dog as she looks over the platform at a second dog, which has white fur with large brown spots.
The second dog, which is on a leash, jumps up to a man and aggressively snaps at him.
The suspected XL Bully attacks the man, who, according to bystanders, came to help the woman who was struggling to control her dogs.
The woman repeatedly shouts, “Give me the dog,” as the pet ruthlessly attacks the man who tries to escape its bite.

The terrifying video then shows the dog biting the man's arms several times as the feathers of his down jacket floated across the platform like snow.
The woman tries to stop her other dog, which also charges at the man, who repeatedly screams for help.
The man tries to get away from the aggressive dogs but falls over – just inches from the edge of the platform – as a train approaches the station.
The dog, which has since escaped his collar and leash, immediately jumps on top of him as the helpless man tries to fend him off.
When the owner finally catches the second dog, the terrified man runs away just before the train stops on the platform.

One person wrote: 'This is why XL bullies are banned because people can't control their dogs.'
Another added: 'She has no control over the dogs yet ends up on public transport where children could have been hurt. These are the kind of people the rules should target.”
Met Police have been contacted for comment.
The latest attack comes just days before the government rolls out the new XL Bully ban, making it a criminal defense to breed or own an XL Bully without a license.
The legislation comes after a terrible year of attacks by the family, which left six Britons dead.
Overall, 24 Britons have been killed by dangerous dogs since the Covid lockdown began three years ago.
Victims of attacks since January 2020 include 10-year-old Jack Lis, who suffered catastrophic injuries after being mauled by an XL Bully named Beast while playing at a friend's house near his home in South Wales on November 8, 2021 .
