Brawl on NYC Subway After ‘Drunk’ Man Won’t Leave Train, Threatens to Pee on Passenger

As with many cell phone video brawls, it’s not always easy to sort out the details. But here’s what we know about this fight that occurred on Friday night on a New York City train. A man refused to get off the train (and threatened to pee on another passenger), and that led to some very angry passengers. One guy got so angry he pushed the man out of the train, and then the two started brawling. Eventually, the man who pushed the guy out of the train landed a strike right to the face, knocking the obstinate man to the ground.
A couple people captured the incident, and one of them talked to Gothamist:
Cheronique Nimmons filmed the first video, and tells us the man in blue “was very drunk…He was showing his Hennessy bottle that he had in a special case.” After a woman accused him of touching her, he “threatened to piss on her man,” and moved on to talking to the girls seen in the video. As his stop arrives, “he starts to get off and he pushed past a couple of people and when he got to the door he wouldn’t get out…He starts talking s**t to the guy in all black,” who then pulls a box cutter on the drunk man. The man in the white t-shirt shoves him out, and a sloppy fight ensues.
Here’s how Nimmons captured the fight (CONTENT WARNING for language in both videos):
And here’s how another passenger – standing on the platform — saw it. This passenger captured the “knockout” blow that sent the man in blue to the ground:
After seeing the video, you might think that the police rushed to the seen to restore order. Not really, as Gothamist notes:
Nimmons says that eventually the police showed up and looked for the man in blue’s magical Hennessy bag, but couldn’t find it, and since no one was hurt, “they just looked by the tracks for the guy’s book bag and let the train leave the station.”
No one was hurt so they just moved on? The former mayor of Jersey City, NJ once told me that he cleaned up the once-deplorable city by treating small crimes — like gambling in the subway — seriously. By cleaning up the little things, and showing people he was serious, the city experienced its greatest turn around ever. Gambling stopped, but so did robberies on the train.
That seems to be a lesson that could be had here.

Posted on August 8, 2011 at 3:37pmBecause there are NO white people that are drunks. And of course no white people ever fight in public. I’ve never come across a youtube video of white people shouting and arguing, behaving like “animals”, no. We’ll keep that phrase on hold for the black people. Hey let’s be sure to reference Wisconsin because everyone needs to know this isnt a one time thing for those people and hell, afterall how can they respond to that? Definitely not by next article over showing a group of whites seeking out and killing the first black person they find. They wouldnt have had to kill anyone if there just were no black people right? We have to warn the White community of the gorillas on the loose before we are infected by their disease.

Posted on August 8, 2011 at 11:03amSome things never change.There should be an all black dysfunctional behavior channel on tv, that We could watch this subhuman class of people destroy civilization on 24/7. There is something seriously wrong here that no one wants to address, the devolution of black America.
Report Post »The left, and progressives, along with the great society, have destroyed the black American society, under the guise of equal rights and fairness. We now have a sub-class of people bent on destroying themselves and the rest of society.

Posted on August 8, 2011 at 11:28amThere is one. It is called The First 48, 90% are blacks killing blacks. Sad but true. When you are raised with the mentality that you are above everyone else and have no respect for one another then one of two things happen. You die or they do. Or sadly a innocent bystander. Have never scene a culture so bent on destroying one another.

Posted on August 8, 2011 at 12:34pmHey, there are plenty of white jerks too. There is no color to stupid, ignorant behavior-it comes in all shades thank you very much. I hate the racism that is showing up on this blog, it makes us look just as bad as the “other guys” and gives plenty of ammo to them to say see-they are racist. So cut it out or go elsewhere, I’m sick of it. I attribute it to trolls, I hope it isn’t the real folks who come here to talk.

Posted on August 8, 2011 at 10:58amThis is just one reason why mass transportation is never going to be a preferred way for “civilized” people to get around. It works fine in places like Japan because they have a mono-culture where, by and large, they behave themselves. Unfortunately, in large metropolitan areas of the U.S., the mentality of many mass transit patrons is “It ain’t a party ’til somethin’ get broke”. You can tell from the video that although the confrontation is unsettling, the people involved in the incident are excited, rather than appalled by it. Sad !!!!!!
