A TRAIN passenger branded a “white idiot” in a dispute with a fellow traveler after she put her feet on his seat has been revealed as a politician responsible for transport.
Keith Prince, of the Greater London Assembly, said he should have just “walked away” after becoming embroiled in the blazing row with the woman.
The Tory politician, who is married to a Nigerian woman called Temitayo, said: “I regret getting involved in such a petty dispute. This is one of those situations in which it is better to simply walk away.
“By the end of the journey we were joking with each other and having a pleasant conversation.
"That said, I’d like to apologize to my fellow commuters for the disturbance our initial disagreement caused.”
The argument is believed to have broken out after the man accused his fellow commuter of putting her muddy feet on the seat, with the woman firing back that he was a “white idiot”.
The five-minute bust-up culminated in the woman telling the man that his wife was cheating on him, later saying: “My feet is literally by your balls, I’m literally grabbing you by your balls”.
