Footage shows an argument, that reportedly broke out after the driver narrowly missed the pedestrian, turn violent.
A stunned passenger recorded the incident after the pedestrian approached the open cab window and began hurling abuse at the driver.
He can be heard swearing and screaming “you tried to run me over” at the panicked bus driver.
Wearing an Arsenal branded jacket, the pedestrian puts his arm through the open drivers window and grabs hold of the steering wheel.
He then proceeds to launch himself through the window, prompting a frantic response from the TfL employee.
The driver grabs the pedestrian’s shirt with one hand and slaps him in the face with the other as the furious man continues to scream in the driver’s face.
The bus driver tries desperately to push the man out of the window but the pedestrian holds firm.
Terrified passengers can be heard encouraging the driver to defend himself, shouting: “Driver, defend yourself, defend yourself.”
The argument continues for a few seconds after the driver lets go of the angry pedestrian – who keeps up his verbal assault.
Eventually he gives up and climbs down from the window but continues to hurl abuse at the bus driver.
He can be heard yelling “Don’t bully me c***” over and over as the driver looks for a chance to shut the window.
Another man on the street can be seen trying to persuade the furious pedestrian to back down.
Eventually the pedestrian is persuaded to give up and stops shouting for a minute, taking his hands away from the window.
As soon as he gets the chance the bus driver slams his window closed, frantically trying to prevent the angry pedestrian from climbing into the cab again.
After being shut out of the cab the unidentified pedestrian walks away, unable to direct more abuse at the bus driver.
The footage was shared to social media on the weekend with the caption “Bus driver v passenger.”
The Sun has contacted the Met Police, The British Transport Police and TfL for comment.
