Disturbing footage recently shared on social media shows a
person menacing subway riders, kicking a car window and yanking
on a woman’s hair as she tried to escape while other
straphangers avoid the outburst.
The roughly two-minute video posted Wednesday on Twitter by Joel
Fischer shows a person who appears to be unwell screaming
obscenities, before sitting down and grabbing a J Train rider’s
hair as she attempts to move away.
“Somebody help me,” the trapped, anguished woman said softly.
Meanwhile, fellow commuters either looked on, moved away from or
ignored the pair without coming to her assistance.
About 30 seconds later, the emotionally disturbed straphanger
shouted, “Get up!” prompting the unlucky woman targeted by the
eruption to stand. The frightening rowdy — wearing an ill-
fitting white sweatshirt, black pants and grey sneakers — then
shoved her away before storming off in the opposite direction.
“Shut the f–k up!” the unruly rider then yelled while pacing up
and down the train car.

Just another day in new york city safest subway system, where
innocent people are being harassed and assaulted.
But the mayor wants you to ride the subway instead of driving,
to save the environment.

Who filmed this? Why not help the woman? Crazy man seems to be
unarmed, 2 guys could've taken him down!
SO MUCH FOR THOSE TOUGH BADASSED DEMOCRAT NEW YORKERS! YOU
BUNCH OF FUCKING PUSSIES!!!
“This is what I deal with,” the man who recorded the incident
said to the camera.
“NYC, demons, you understand?” he added, before providing
unintelligible commentary on the situation.
The video went on to show the unstable person continuing to
yell, standing on the subway car seat while repeatedly kicking
the window as the train approaches the Delancey Street/Essex
Street station.
It’s unclear when the viral video was taken and who recorded the
footage. A tweet sharing the video received more than 14,000
retweets and 24,000 likes as of Sunday morning.
An NYPD rep told The Post Sunday that the department was not
aware of the incident.
“There are no reports on file regarding the video,” said a
spokesperson.
Commenters on the troubling video lamented that straphangers did
not aid the woman who appeared to be randomly targeted by the
mentally unwell subway rider.
“I trust that if I was there, I would [have] done something,”
tweeted Kenneth Adams. “I’ve lived in NYC my whole life, what
the f–k is going on, real talk?!? NYC!!! We gotta be better!!!
“You mean to tell me several of yall guys couldn’t come together
to help that lady????” replied another Twitter user.
“No one helped ? But this person that films just prayed to a god
? How’s that gonna work,” fumed another commenter. “Why is no
one stepping in[?]”
