Video posted online shows a vicious subway fight that ends after a woman who is trying to break it up is hit in the face, bloodying her nose.
The more than four minutes of footage, posted on LiveLeak, begins with two men scuffling inside a moving train car. Bystanders repeatedly try to break up the fight. A woman, in particular, attempts to pull the two men away from each other, saying over and over, “Please, guys! Please, stop!”
The men continue to swing at each other and wrestle on the floor until the train comes to a stop and the fight moves onto the platform. The woman follows the men, again trying to break up the fight. One man gets back onto the train, but bursts out again before the doors close, running to attack the other man. Bystanders, including the woman, try to get between the men once more.
About two minutes and 51 seconds into the video, one man sprints back onto the train. The other man races towards the doors and throws a punch, hitting the woman, who is standing on the platform, in the face and knocking her down. It’s unclear whether she was the intentional target.
The other man immediately reaches down to pull her into the car, where she remains on the floor, holding her face. A moment later, blood spews from her nose onto the seats and floor as the man tries to apply pressure with his shirt.
Another passenger can be heard saying, “And nobody did nothing. That’s f-cked up.”
