Woman Spits on Man on the Train, So He Attacks Her Boyfriend

A fired up subway rider chose not to hit a woman in the midst of an intense argument, opting instead to attack her boyfriend, who only engaged the agitated passenger briefly after he shoved his girlfriend’s arm off the overhanging pole.

Cell phone footage captured the wild 5 train incident, which begins with the woman jumping in front of an already arguing passenger, wearing a neon construction safety vest, and arguing with him just inches from his face. After he physically moves her arm from in front of his face, the woman jumps in the way of the closing train doors, hollering for the attention of a police officer unsuccessfully. The fight eventually returns to inside the train car, where the woman and the vested man continue the argument, which gives way to the woman hurling a ball of spit in the man’s direction.

Initially, he doesn’t seem to be bothered by the collection of saliva that was ushered into his vicinity, but after a few calm steps to the side, he is immediately on top of the woman’s 38-year-old boyfriend, punching and kicking him in the face and torso until he begins dripping with blood. Shortly after, the assailant wills wing his bag and helmet over his shoulder and calmly get off the train at his stop, but not before the woman screamed to her boyfriend’s attacker that she had the entire ordeal on tape.

We’re sure this isn’t the last we’ll hear of this incident, as the cops will likely investigate.

The argument reportedly started because the construction worker didn’t allow the woman in question to sit next to him, and allowed a smaller person to occupy the space after denying the first woman.
