Afurious Tube passenger has been caught on camera demanding a blind former A&E doctor moves his guide dog so he can get past him on the escalator.Amit Patel, 37, who suddenly lost his sight five years ago from a haemorrhage behind his eyes, was confronted by an irate commuter at London Bridge on Tuesday.Mr Patel was standing at the side of the stairs with guide dog Kika on the left hand side when an angry person accused him of blocking his way and wasting their time.The shocking scene was captured by a camera mounted on the animal's back.In the footage, the aggrieved commuter can be heard saying: 'I want to get past.' Mr Patel politely responded: 'I can't do that, she's a guide dog' before the traveller snapped back: 'I know that!' A Transport for London worker assisting Mr Patel on the Tube said: 'How do you expect him to move, he needs to hold onto the handrail.' But the passenger continued: 'Just let go of the handrail so I can walk past.' Towards the end of the footage, other commuters can be overheard calling the angry passenger 'inconsiderate'.The clip recorded by Mr Patel was posted to Twitter, along with captions, to highlight the regular abuse he faces while travelling on public transport in London.He told MailOnline last year he was fed up of regularly being ignored by station staff - so he decided to attach a GoPro camera to Kika's back to record the public's behaviour.The former A&E doctor was working as a locum at hospitals around London when he started losing his sight three years ago, following six cornea transplants in Britain and two in America.He was diagnosed with the condition keratoconus, which changes the shape of the cornea, during his final year of medical school by his flatmate who was a student optician.After correcting his vision for around nine months, each transplant was then rejected by his body.He not only lost his vision but his life as he knew it.His wife Seema reviews the footage at the end of the day and tweets about the pair's travels around the capital.Mr Patel said people 'deliberately' hit him with their bags: 'They have loads of space to get past but they seem to think it is fun to barge into a blind person.'Kika always sits to my left hand side so we often block the escalator and people will hit her with bags and umbrellas to get her to move out of the way.'The worst part is the tutting and negative comments behind me.People are so rude and arrogant and assume they can do whatever they want.'One lady even said I should apologise to the people behind her for holding them up.I asked her if I should apologise for being blind and she said, "yes".'Sometimes I wonder who is the blind person when there are people glued to their mobile phones.'It really scares Kika sometimes, I can feel how upset she gets and when I get upset she senses it and she won't go on the escalators for a few days.' Mr Patel travels by train nearly every day and says he has been ignored by staff when he is in unfamiliar surroundings.He ad
