Pregnant woman uploads a video showing London commuters 'refusing to give up' seat on the Tube

A pregnant woman has uploaded a video showing commuters in London apparently 'refusing to give up' their seat on the Underground.

Journalist Miri Michaeli Schwartz used a hidden camera to show London commuters' reluctance to give up their seats for a pregnant woman on the Tube and posted the video on Facebook, the Jewish Chronicle reports.

The heavily pregnant Ms Schwartz got on to tube trains wearing a "baby on board" badge.

But she found most commuters unwilling to give up their seat.

It is not clear from the video whether passengers were immediately aware a pregnant woman was standing nearby.
