NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Who thought that eating spaghetti on a packed subway car could cause such problems?

Well, it did. A video posted on YouTube shows a woman riding on a crowded subway train eating spaghetti from a styrofoam container.

Now, there is a code among straphangers that eating on the train is just plain rude. But so is drinking, listening to loud music, talking loudly, etc. It is certainly annoying but a sad reality for those using mass transit in our city.

Most times the offending party will just get dirty looks. However, sometimes someone will speak up.

Like in the case of the passenger sitting across from her spaghetti-eating nemesis in the above-mentioned video.

The details of the incident are scant: There is no date, nor mention of location and subway line. All we have to go on is what is seen in the video–and let’s just say, it’s not pretty.

All hell breaks loose after a passenger is heard saying, “What kind of animals eat on the train?”

Oh boy. Watch for yourself and let us know if a situation like this has ever happened to you.

Spaghetti Dinner Leads To Full Blown Brawl On NYC Subway Train

enny

agree, the white lady probably starve to death when she sees the young girl eating spaghetti or maybe she doesn’t have money to buy food. poor woman. For me, I think the young girl has the right to eat, she’s probably starving. well, she got to eat something.

Lai Yinghan

I don’t think so. Eating in the train is not allowed because whoever does so will get fined once caught. This girl and her friend should not have hit the woman too.

Neville Lee

If it was a cigarette I could understand someone making a comment but it was spaghetti. Sometimes it’s just wise to mind your own business.

HUGO

It wasn’t spaghetti. It was LO MEIN. She should have known better than to confront a savage.

GOD

Hugo you are the savage for even making such a dumb comment.

Christine Blasucci

You wanted to know if this every happened to me on the subway? Actually on January 26, 2000 I was on the subway and I had to go to dinner with my family that night so I had to get home fast. The incident happened in my car and it was a terrible sight someone was stabbed to death right in front of me. When I finally got off the train I called my family immediately to let them know that I was going to be late.

HUGO

Consider yourself lucky. You got to see all that action for $2.25 and you probably had a great story to tell your family over dinner.

Subway Rider

POINT BLANK NO FOOD OR DRINKS ON THE SUBWAY! THE SPAHETTI EATING HOOD RAT DOESN”T KNOW HOW TO READ! That’s why she acts uncivilized.
I hope this video shows up at the police and they charge the idiot with agravated assault!

HUGO

I agree but would you confront a baboon eating peanuts in morgue? No way, you would go on your way.
Tommy Delfino

You’re allowed to eat on the subway, there are no rules that say you can’t.

MTA

Food and drinks are NOT allowed on the subway.

Vladimir

I am a Russian white man. I salute
1) to the black dude who made the video. thx bro very entertaining i have already put it on FB
2) black guy who stopped the fight. U r the man!!!
3) to white woman. piece of advice next time when u deal with somebody in the confrontation be prepared to do stuff physically. Learn self defense moves. When someone stands in your face and says what u going to do, u don’t have to push them with your hands, u can just force your way to the left or to the right with your body and escape the confrontation.
4) to black woman and her daughter. u daughter were probably hungry and there might be no other time/place to eat except the train. stuff like that happens in the life(even though there signs on the train No food, no drink, no loitering, no loud music), but unfortunately it does not give you the right to use physical force when someone gives u a notice(unless the notice is a physical threat to put u in the harms way). Your daughter may face assault and battery charges and you may go as an accomplice.
5) to all people -united we stand divide we fall. cant we just live peacefully with each other.We should say grace to God for what we have.U think u got it tough and I am wrong:look at Japan
Thx everybody and God Bless.

New Yorker

Vladimir…. very wise your comment. Loved it! You are soooo right!
robert

You’re right Vladimir, this was a dumb reason to possibly get injured or a criminal record. The black girl needs to focus on the bigger picture, like her future. If she gets a police record for assault, when her chances of getting a good job later on just went down. In all places that I’ve worked at, they threw out or just didn’t pay attention to anyone with a police record. That is unless they had some major educational background. Everyone should’ve just made their opinion known and leave it be. The black girl needs to grow up and remember, words can’t hurt you!!
HUGO

Thanks for the comments Mr. Putin.

21stCenturyAmerika

So glad I dont have to be subjected to this endless parade of human debris. I’d rather walk l. White, black. Makes no difference. They are both pathetic pieces of garbage. If you are unfortunate enough to have to ride these rolling dumpsters everyday, i feel sorry for you. Good luck clawing your way out of this cesspool.
Shinikua

Wow! I guess that’s what shel’ll teach her kids. Its very clear she lacks social skills – lack education – self centered. How said to see a young woman behave this way. I feel very sad for her. She’ll be a guetto (*&^ all her life. Girl, learn how to behave and live between humans. I can expect that kind of behaviour in an animal. They don’t know any better. Sorry, feel very sorry for this girl. And her companion? Even worse!

HUGO

If you smell something, say something.

hls

lol Hugo. good one. they’re all jerks. so sick of these people. if you don’t like it, take a limo! meanwhile let the rest of us have a peaceful ride.

nyc

And we wonder why europeans think americans are pigs, uncivilized ,just watch this video !

Cornholio

Newsflash: europeans don’t bathe often enough for my liking. Point: US.

hls

newsflash, if europeans hate us so much ,stay in europe! nobody asked for their tourist opinion! they sure do flock here like seagulls for people who hate us so much.

HUGO

And we wonder why Europeans are obsessed with Americans. Tell your woman to shave euro savage.
William

Been to a few European countries over the years, maybe they should focus on using DEODORANT, rather than us….. They STINK in the summer!!!

Vin

I’d much rather have someone eat food next to me than some rude P.O.S. young punk A$$ low life who insists on blasting his Ipod on full volume first thing in the morning. Show all the food you want; just keep it quiet. And unless a man just hit a woman, or a child’s been abused or an animal’s been beaten, Animal is not a word to be said to anyone. Even if they’re eating on a subway.

Mike

She was an animal, and so are you.

Lieutenant

I agree Vin

Mike – F off!!!

HUGO

Vin, you wouldn’t mind someone eating a 3 course meal next to you on the subway because you’re a savage yourself. I’m sure you eat an egg roll on the N train every day.

kelinsometime

Since when does eating make you a savage? So what if it’s on a subway or locked away with all the lights off in your closet so no one can see you put food in your mouth.

Anthony D

A freaking low-life animal on the subway!

Humphrey

Anthony D,

Agreed. You are referring to the white whale, no?

Nicole S

LMAO… good one.
HUGO

He is referring to both, the white whale and the brown seal.

Denise S.

At no time did the woman say slap me. There was no reason for them to put their hands on her.

Devenio

If you look at the video, it was clearly the Bright Fat chick that stared this entire incident. More than likely on a diet and was fending for a pork chop when the Dark young chick started eating. When a fat person is hungry, look out!

Hell’s Kitchen

Next time, bring enough for everyone.
Christine Blasucci

Have everyone involved arrested. It makes you wonder where are the transit police when you need them?

Denise S.

NO, why should the woman be arrested for speaking her mind. The 2 ladies attacked her. Now you want to take away her right to free speech????

Lieutenant

@Denise – there are consequeces for your actions. U cant expect to disrespect someone and then there are no reaction COME ON!!!
Nicole S

There is nothing wrong with free speech, it is a constitutional right, but you need to be careful about what you say and who your saying it to. Calling someone an animal is asking for it and thats what got her into trouble.
kelinsometime

FIRE!!!! Oh come on, I was just exercising my right to free speech.

Ron

It’s a free country, the white woman had the right to say something, the 2 black ladies had the right to eat, who cares if she’s eating on the subway, maybe the white lady was hungry and mad that they didn’t share with her so she started talking junk.

HUGO

Actually eating isn’t allowed on the subway. Obey the rules Ronnie.

After you’ve eaten your spaghetti or pizza or Big Mac or whatever, make sure all the bits of food that fell out of your mouth land in the corner and on the floor. Discard your used ketchup packs and empty containers on the seat next to you. Don’t forget to put that half-finished can of Coke by your feet so it can roll around the subway car and make nice sticky puddles everywhere. Thanks.
General

Looks like some attitudes need to be checked at the door. They should be sitting in jail for a night for assault.

“Let them eat Speghetti Sandwiches”
keith

My two least favorite subway riders are:

1) People who wear large, full backpacks on crowded trains.
2) People who stand in front of the door, and don’t move in to the center of the car, leaving empty spaces in the middle and very crowded areas around the doors.
fie dolla fut long

so much for the famous “SUBWAY” sandwich? no?

Five….Five…. Fi dolla foot looong….

ANY ANY!!

dee

can she even say spaghetti?

JaQuanda Humpkiss

Yes: Busketi.

HUGO

It was LO MEIN.
hls

lol hugo, okay okay it was LO MEIN and not pasketti. you should be a stand up comic. just don’t do it on the subway for money that’s illegal too.

dee

back in the 70s i saw a homeless woman eating a semi cooked chicken on the “underground” yes… in London.. so not just here… who knows maybe that was all she had in days
with everything else going on who cares.. we’re going to self destruct anyway

crazyeye killer

Yes but this p.o.s. and her posse live in the projects on the publics dime.
laura

you’re so right dee. with all the things going on in the world, you would think people would stop hating each other. I think this incident happened in flatbush, the girls look decent, probably go to brooklyn college. I am not saying they were right. But the older woman should not have insulted them. I cant belive how racists some of these comments are. smh

jim

she eats like an animal shoveling the food into her face…..

nycgal

I do not believe she chewed her food. I am thankful that a fork was used.

MLK

No one asked to be beaten… no matter white or not
and obviously you are someone who uses violence to make a point,.,, grow up and stop being a prejudicial person that creates racial tension…
