Challenged about the volume of his rap tunes, the aggressive youth told passengers: “You want me to turn the music off. Make me turn the music off.”

“It’s literally music to entertain me,’’ he said.

Irate passengers lashed out as their frustration built.

“Hey dude — shut the f--- up,’’ one shouted. “It’s literally the worst music in the entire world.”
Demanded others: “Just turn it off.”

“People want to work in here,’’ one said.

Even threats of phoning police weren’t enough to end the rap rampage.

“I’m getting off at the next station you d---head!’’ the rap lover said. “The police won’t do anything for me playing music on a train.”

One passenger told him: “Take a look at yourself kid.”

The rap player replied: “Take a look at yourself.”

“I don’t have headphones,’’ he said.

The drama finally ended with the troublesome traveller getting off at Caulfield, music blaring.
