In the video, the driver refuses to let him board, and the man then makes a comment to the driver as he's trying to get through to sit down.

The driver then leaps out of his cab and physically pushes the man off the bus.

The drunk man falls to the floor and appeals to witnesses to call the police, while the driver simply tells him to "get off and stay off".

According to the Liverpool Echo, the video has been viewed thousands of times and has caused divided opinion online.

Mr Martin wrote: "He was alright that fella I spoke to him after it and he's been out for a few beers.

"Out of order isn't it like?"

But, according to the Mirror, another user said: "Someone's just commented on it saying she was on the bus and the fella who was drunk was shouting all kinds before this happened and was causing murder."
