NYC Is A Strange Place

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s not even summer yet things are already heating up underground.

A fight between passengers on a New York City subway train was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday. It is yet another example of the bizarre world that’s beneath our feet.

In the video, a man wearing glasses, a blue, Hawaiian-style shirt and what appears to be a blue doo-rag with a pattern on it can be seen through the subway doors raining punches down on another man.

VIDEO: Subway Beating Caught On Tape

A woman and a man appear to be trying to separate the two combatants, but to no avail. Earlier in the video, a woman outside the car knocks on the doors in an apparent effort to stop the fight.

When they are all unsuccessful, the beating becomes more intense. The man in the Hawaiian shirt can be seen gripping a handful of the other man’s hair and sends six more punches directly into his face.

The person on the receiving end of the punches gets hit at least 17 times in the 1:39 video. The apparent victim here doesn’t land a single one of his own.

According to the information uploaded with the video, the brawl began over a seat on the train.

The actual where and when of the video are unclear.

It’s just the latest subway attack that has been caught on tape. We’ve previously seen a man strip down to his briefs and pole dance during a flash moba brawl that began over a bowl of spaghetti, the confrontation between “Bloody Loco” and a cool passenger, and a naked man’s meltdown, among others.

What gives on the subway system? Do you have any additional information on the incident? Sound off in our comments section.

    more blacks behaving badly

    its normal

    if te attacker were white it would be all over the news

    dare you to look at crime stats by race

    btw im hispanic

  • cecil

    Riots, flash mobs, fights, you name it right on down to highest numbers in prison population and who is it? Yep, that’s right.

    • Milt

      Amen, Cecil. Gosh, isn’t it strange how 40 years of being lavished with entitlement programs and being given a preferred status have backfired on them and the rest of society in the worst way?

        My wife and I were on the escalator when these two men approached the platform of the subway. The white guy was choking the black guy on the escalator and the black guy was totally in shock. The white guy begging the black guy to make up and come home. Prior to the subway pulling up they started hugging and kissing. We purposely moved down platform. When we entered our train car people started rushing out of the car in front of us as they started fighting. NYC police finally got to the scene and took them off the subway, it stopped the E train for 15 minutes.

        • Melissa

          That sounds like a [gay] lover’s quarrel. It doesn’t sound pure ghetto, which is what was amply demonstrated on the mobile phone video.

  • Ted Sheckler

    Thomas Hobbes said we are all born savages and our society civilizes us. It seems a certain segment of our population never got the memo. When you have 3 or 4 generations of men growing up without fathers or role models, this is what you get. Some “people” just have no clue how to behave around civilized human beings. Unfortunately, I don’t think we can expect this to change anytime in the near future.

    • madeintheshade

      How do you explain radical islam?

      • mootymoo

        What a dumb comeback. Typical internet idiot, always ready with the pointless return question.

      • jimmerz

        Radical islam have had even more that the 3-4 generations to learn to be civilized, and they don’t seem to have gotten a clue either!

      • FD

        You are wrong prove it moron

      • STevah

        Never mind “radical”; standard Islam, or worship of their moon god, is a murderous Jew-hating conspiracy. Islam is hell-bent on world domination by violence. It is a collection of people who have been brainwashed to agree that to lie is acceptable, in the name of their god. They have their version of salvation only through killing others. It is a devilish plan.

      Just remember:

      War is Peace
      Love is Hate
      Diversity is our Strength

  • JohnG

    No surprise who was being violent and who was the victim. I appreciate the man trying to break it up but if you are going to involve yourself in a situation like that you need to come in strong yourself. Weakly trying to separate it aint gonna do a thing. There are far too many weak people in our society. I guess they figure they’ll wait until the authorities arrive. But by that time a buck whose had a taste of blood can go even more wild. You have to understand a buck grows more brave the more weakness you show. They thrive off of it.

    • gvtuber

      True, bro.
      If you want to break it up, you gotta subdue the aggressor – choke hold, taser.

      • madeintheshade

        I once saw a guy like that get taken out with a deep fried chicken leg!

    • exiled conservative

      Actually, if he had tried to stop the attacker with any more force, he probably would have been charged with a hate crime. So can’t really blame the guy for doing little. It was all he could do without having to worry about going to jail for helping someone out.

  • palidin

    what is wrong with some people to watch and do nothing? Too many whipped dog metrosexuals in large cities, who will not carry protection because your dipsh#it mayor says no, and then asks “where were the PO PO”? .

    Prepare to protect yourself, of put up with the beat down or worse.

  • simon

    “What gives on the subway system?” Ummm …..Negroes???

    • madeintheshade

      White people are fond of pets!

  • Bill

    I’m glad I live far away from New York. And I’m never going there. That should make the animals happy. One less person to beat up or rob.

    • TWC

      It sucks Bill. Take my word for it. Not that it’s dangerous so much that it’s filled to the brim with stupidity.

      I wish it wasn’t so but the comments are more informative about what’s going on than the dry reporting.

      We are decades past getting the straight story from the media.

  • George Johnson

    You couldn’t DRAG me to NY city!!
    That place is about to implode,and I want to be as far away as possible from that sewer. You keep your outrageous taxes. You keep your failed “milti-culti”; BS.
    Just do me one favor, and that is, you STAY up there when it does implode. Don’t you dare come down south.

    • GOD

      Actually lots of us have FAMILY DOWN SOUTH. Some of us were raised on farms and taught how to hunt. Lots of us know that we hold a gun properly (NOT side ways thug style) in order to hit our target. So if I were you I’d quit while I am ahead. : )

      • madeintheshade

        Us Who?

      • GOD

        madeintheshade
        “Us Who?”

        Figure it out!!! Don’t you guys claim to know everything?

      • madeintheshade

        Hey god, do you think I will go to Hell? How can I be saved?

  • Bawlamer Merlin

    This is, without a doubt, an attack carried out by Tea Party activists. All true liberals, er, uh, I mean, progressives, know that all crimes committed by black people stopped the day Obama became President. Also, if you watch all the Law & Order shows, you’ll know that all violent crime in NY is the fault of rich white people and their children.

    • Joel

      Bing. The tea party did it again! The racist armed to the teeth tea party. If only they were as safe as inner city black people in NYC, Chicago, LA, DC, Baltimore, Philly…Anybody care to disprove my comment?

      • madeintheshade

        Yeah! I will disprove it! I went to Bismark North Dakota once and didn’t see 1 black person commit a crime! So there!

  • harry p.pickle

    STUPID NEGROE !!! BRUNG A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT,,STUPID NEGROE !!!

  • adele

    what train is it?

  • Greg Shugal

    I recorded this video…once I started being contacted by news outlets around NY, Check the youtube page again to read my testimony.

  • Richard

    Careful now. Don’t state the obvious. The politically correct police will come after you!

  • Dean Whitehead

    Gee go figure what race the guiy is.

  • KAT

    THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO SECURITY BELOW GROUND ON THE SUBWAYS OR ON THE LIRR… BESIDES THIS CRIME, IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE, WITH GUNS OR ANY TERRORIST ACTIVITY ETC… AND THERE ARE NO COPS AROUND… THIS VIDEO TELLS THE WORLD ALL—NO COPS AROUND SO IT CAN BE A FREE FOR ALL. PATHETIC AND SCARY…. GOOD LUCK RIDING THE RAILS

  • PMM

    The cops are never around when you need them, and this dumb city NOT ONLY makes it impossible for the law abiding citizen to get a handgun carry permit, it’s even ilegal to carry a stun gun or pepper spray. It’s a criminal’s paradise. Of course the mayor is anti-gun ownership, while HE is surrounded by body guards.

    • Malachi

      you can buy pepper spray if over 18 and no felonies..you can buy at a licensed dealer, you can look up online where to buy

  • TruthTella

    That black guy is ready for the UFCs NYC debut!

  • James

    This has nothing to do with Police. Who are useless in general and only show up after the fact to make matters worse. It is a simple matter of the times we are living in. People are worried, frustrated, exhausted and upset. Nataurally, things like this are going to happen. Try to help someone when you can if you see they are in need or in trouble, even if it is to listen with empathy.

    • Ava

      Great comment, James. God Bless.

  • joe

    what a p*ssy the guy didn’t even fight back, that guy wasnt even delivering strong blows……..both of them are weak

  • The Facts

    While uniformed police officers are at times found on station platforms there appears to be few if any actually riding on the trains. There was a time long ago when there was actually a uniformed officer on every train in the system. Maybe some thought should be given to reestablishing the Transit Police as a separate dedicated entity. In any event, the police force is well below optimal strength. We have our mayor and city council to thank for this deplorable situation.

  • General

    Society in it entirety has become a society of animals. Respect one another and this wouldn’t happen. Have the police enforce the most basic of laws and may people like this would be less inclined to behave like savages. Savages all of you.

  • ABC1234

    Brave woman. she should get some kind of medal for trying to break up the fight.

  • nyc

    Where are the police ? I never see police on the subways. I remember always seeing cops on the subways, not anymore ! I t’s a jungle down there with lots of savages and mentally ill people, help !

    • MSavage

      They are busy giving tickets for walking between cars and taking up more than one seat on EMPTY trains. Guess that is more important.

      • Laura

        While I agree that their recent spate of ticketing for feet on seats is just a revenue booster (the cop tried to feed me some line about making sure people don’t fall asleep and get robbed and subway insurance costs for the people who are robbed) I will say that at least on the G train I see a handful of cops riding the train daily.

  • danny

    @Joe, and you belong in a pine box.

  • Big Nard

    Welcome to New York.

    • Native

      No, this is not NYC behavior. I’m fed up with idiot tourists, newly-arrived immigrants from Nebraska, and others whose view of NYC is derived from Seinfeld & CSI. This is MY briar patch, and the native born New Yorker may be impatient of fools and thugs, but is POLITE. The Goths and Vandals ought to go HOME, since they refuse to adapt.

      By the way, putting your dirty feet on a seat, so that the next person to sit their has his/her clothes ruined, is purely nasty, and deserves a fine!.

      • Janice

        The native New Yorker is rude, obnoxious and over-opinionated–always willing to share their narrow-minded view even when unwelcome. ~Fellow Native New Yorker

      • bluedog23

        I don’t think tourists ae this issue; without their money the city would be charging for using the sidewalk.

      • Rico

        Oh, that’s rich! Yes, I am sure this perp was an IMMIGRANT from NEBRASKA. It’s common knowledge that native new yorkers are the sal tof the earth.

        Pardon me while I go find my hip waders. It’s getting deep in here.

  • moco max

    NYC is all Black now, Whites are a minority there and are being murdered 24/7
