Is this free from mistakes?

Is this sentence free from errors? Is the underlined part natural enough?

On a crowded train, I found someoe standing on my feet. So I said to him, “Hey, you are hurting my foot” To my annoyance, he averted his eyes pretending not to hear what I said.

The underlined part is natural. The discrepancy between "standing on my feet " and "hurting my foot " is noticeable. I would say that usually in this kind of situation a person stands on just one of your feet.
