The incident unfolded on a train between Cardiff Central and Swindon on May 18.
He is thought to be named 'Elijah' after his friends referred to him by the name multiple times during the confrontation.
In the footage, 'Elijah' can be heard screaming: "I'll kill you. I'll kill your boyfriend. I'll follow you. I'll follow you to your house.
"I'll follow you to your boyfriend's house, I'll kill your boyfriend. Whatever bro."
His pals then try to calm him down saying "what are you doing" and "you're being filmed".
Another says "you're embarassing us" as he continued ranting uncontrollably at the pair of scared women.
But 'Elijah' kept repeating "I ain't embarassing no one" as he went on with his foul mouthed tirade.
Eyewitnesses claim the crazed passenger had earlier demanded a group of women tell him who was the most attractive out of him and his mates.
During the verbal scuffle, the unhinged commuter added: "If those two girls want to move, you can go.
"I'm not going to f***ing stop you from going."
The female passengers then pointed out that they "shouldn't be the ones to move".
Moment woman wrestles & fights off railway staff to hold up entire train so late pals can board - leading to her ARREST
That's when the uncouth passenger dramatically clutches his hand to his mouth in mock shock.
It's also alleged that 'Elijah' chucked dried chewing gum at another woman during the journey, leaving her in tears.
Outraged social media users have branded the passenger "cowardly" and "immature" following the shocking outburst.
One person said "absolutely appalling behaviour" seen in public.
Another added: "He's clearly emotionally mature hopefully his mother sees this and puts him right".
A third said: "At least his friends were trying to stop him. Very immature young man."
The British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating the confrontation believed to have taken place on the evening of May 18.
The BTP told The Sun that the man has not yet been identified and no arrests have been made.
A spokeswoman for the force said: "We're aware of a video circulating on social media showing a woman being repeatedly threatened by a man on a train.
"There is absolutely no place for violent or intimidating behaviour on the railway network, and we encourage the victim or anyone who witnessed the incident to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 271 of 18 May.
"You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

Harvard Chinese student's graduate speech draws praise and ire
A Chinese Harvard graduate's speech calling for unity in a divided world, delivered days after the US vowed to "aggressively" revoke Chinese students' visas, has sparked mixed reactions in the US and her home country."We don't rise by proving each other wrong. We rise by refusing to let one another go," Jiang Yurong said on Thursday, the same day a US federal judge blocked the Trump administration's ban on foreign students at Harvard. Her speech went viral on the Chinese internet, with some saying it moved them to tears. However, others said her elite background is not representative of Chinese the US, some have flagged her alleged links with the Chinese Communist Party. In their efforts to restrict Harvard from enrolling foreign students, US authorities had accused the institution of "co-ordinating with the Chinese Communist Party". Ms Jiang, who studied international development, was the first Chinese woman to speak at a Harvard graduation her address, Ms Jiang emphasised the value of Harvard's international classrooms, noting how that taught her and her classmates to "dance through each other's traditions" and "carry the weight of each other's worlds". "If we still believe in a shared future, let us not forget: those we label as enemies - they, too, are human. In seeing their humanity, we find our own," said Ms Jiang, who spent her final two years of school at Cardiff Sixth Form College in Wales before going to Duke University in the US for her undergraduate degree. A conservative X account, with the handle @amuse, criticised Harvard for choosing a graduation speaker who is "a representative of a CCP-funded and monitored non-government organisation", alleging that her father works for a non-government organisation that "serves as a quasi-diplomatic agent for the [party]". The account, which has 639,000 followers, has previously posted pro-Donald Trump content, such as the US leader fighting Darth Vader and sexualised imagery of former Vice-President Kamala Chinese social media users, on the other hand, allege that the organisation Ms Jiang's father works for is backed by prominent American companies and BBC has not independently verified these allegations. "This is why she could get a scholarship to go to the UK for high school, and later also to Harvard," wrote a user on China's X-like platform, Weibo. Others called for her to stay on in the US, with comments that reeked with sarcasm. "Such talent should be left to the United States," one wrote. "I hope she will continue to glow abroad and stay away from us!" read Ms Jiang's vision of a "shared humanity" also struck a chord."That she is able to stand on an international stage and speak the heart of Chinese students has moved me to tears," wrote a user on Red Note, another Chinese social media user defended Jiang by hitting back at those who criticised her: "You may not have changed them, but they've heard you... As more and more people speak out like you, you will eventually move and change others."There are around 6,800 international students at Harvard, who make up more than 27% of its enrolments in the past academic year. About a third of these foreign students are from China, and more than 700 are Indian.
