A monstrous subway commuter kicked a woman down a Brooklyn escalator after she called him out for shoving past her, chilling video shows.
The 32-year-old victim was riding up an escalator at the Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center station about 7:15 p.m. Thursday when the attacker, who wore a backpack and a mask, jostled past her, cops said.
She quipped to the man, Say, excuse me, and he responded, I did and kicked her square in the chest, cops said.
The woman tumbled backwards to the bottom of the escalator, while the man turned around, walked up the moving steps and left the station.

(35,054 posts)Around 15 years ago my family was waiting patiently for an elevator with a group of people large enough that it was clear there were going to be several cycles before the crowd cleared. As, it was our turn to enter the elevator a loud boorish lumpy woman shoved her way through the group (TFG in a dress? We'll never know.) and pushed my SO and little dimpled darling to the ground with enough force an impartial observer could conclude it was assault. I missed grabbing the woman's hair by about a foot. Not sure what would have occurred, if I had. So, it was probably better that I didn't.
As I was helping my SO and child up and to recompose themselves, I remember someone in the remaining group sarcastically say as they straightened their clothing, "Wow, they must be handing out free money somewhere upstairs."
Some people!
But, they got their freedumbs.

Before he procreates (assuming he hasn't already) every single woman who may have interest in him should be shown this video.

In some ways, this person looks female to me, but who knows. I assume that the victim described him to the police as a male.

More seriously, I hope they catch the guy and he does serious jail time. She could have died from such an assault.

(1,495 posts)When I'm in NYC, I try not to make eye contact or talk to anyone, especially while on the subway or in the stations. I'm glad the woman's injuries were minor. Some of the escalators in stations are so tall that someone would be killed if they tumbled down them.
There are a lot of crazy people in NYC. Don't try to shame anyone for their poor manners or you might get killed.

"He just kicked me out of nowhere," she said. "And I just came tumbling down the escalator, past everyone, all the way to the bottom floor."
She suffered cuts and bruises to her back, arms, legs, right knee, right thigh and left ankle, but she declined medical attention.

(63,221 posts)What also bothers me is that she declined medical attention, which is something I hear about far too much in this country. People declining medical attention for attacks or accidents which could prevent infections or medical problems later on down the road.
Our healthcare system sucks! People should not have to be financially penalized for seeking medical care for injuries from accidents and violent assaults from unhinged people. This country is so messed up.
