Two Mice Caught ‘Fighting’ On London Underground Platform |
London commuters were treated to an unexpectedly entertaining scene when two tiny mice appeared to square off on the floor of Oxford Circus Underground station.
A video circulating online shows the rodents standing on their hind legs and throwing what look like tiny punches at one another. The unusual encounter quickly caught the attention of passengers, who watched the miniature showdown unfold.
The clip was posted on August 29, although it is not known exactly when the footage was recorded. The person who shared it captioned the video, “Fight fight fight [in the] London Underground,” before adding, “But how cute!”
The reason behind the animals’ apparent argument is unclear. Something on the floor appears to have attracted their attention, leading to speculation that the mice may have been competing over food.

Another added, “The toe-to-toe fight is cute, but even the scrawniest NYC rat would've scared the bejeebers out of both of them!”
