What would you do if you saw an elderly woman being physically assaulted by a large thug? Knowing most of you probably would probably be armed, I’m certain your response would involve a firearm. But even if you had no weapon, I’m sure you would step in and do SOMETHING to stop the atrocity. But in the Bronx, it seems the appropriate response is to do nothing. Well, not nothing exactly. Instead of helping the poor woman, one asshole turned his camera on and recorded it.
Subway riders film brute kicking elderly woman in the face instead of trying to help
An elderly woman was repeatedly kicked in the face and body during a savage Bronx subway attack caught on video.
The video, which was posted to Twitter by user @BKLYNRELL1, shows the man assaulting the 78-year-old victim as she is sitting in a northbound No. 2 train around 3 a.m. March 10, police said.
While that video might help the police eventually find this violent animal, wouldn’t a better response have been to step up and intervene?
The woman, who was alone, tries to defend herself as he continues to attack her — all while other straphangers can be heard shouting in the background.
Yes, what a bunch of fucking heroes. All their oooing and ahhing clearly displays their displeasure in what’s occurring but not ONE of them lifted a finger to help.
As the train was stopped at Nereid Avenue, the man yells something at his victim before turning around, looking at the camera and shouting, “WorldStar that, my n—a.” — referring to the popular social media page that is filled with violent videos. He then got off the train.

No one called 911 right away, police said, and the person behind the camera continued recording the woman as she held her hand to her head.
Cops weren’t notified until the train arrived at the next and last stop, at Wakefield-241st Street station, when a bystander approached a police officer in the station.
ONE person out of how many people that witnessed that attack came forward? That’s one reason why black communities continue to experience such high crime rates. No one ever does anything and no one ever sees anything. It’s always the attitude of I dinduffin’ and I dinseenuffin.
“It’s terrible,” an MTA worker told the Post on Friday at the Nereid Avenue station. “I can’t believe something like that could happen.”
The employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said community affairs officers had been to the station Friday morning. They showed her the video, she said, but she did not recognize him.
The victim was treated at the station by EMS for bleeding and swelling, but refused additional medical attention.
Investigators are hoping to speak to the victim, and are searching for her attacker.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea pleading with the public in a tweet to come forward with any information about the attack.
“Individual below is WANTED for a heinous attack of an elderly woman aboard a #2 train on March 10, 2019, at approx 3:10am, at the Nereid Ave Station in the #Bronx,” he tweeted. “If you know who he is or have info, contact CRIMESTOPPERS @NYPDTips ANONYMOUSLY 800-577-TIPS #YourCityYourCall.”
An MTA official promised the agency would do all it can to help catch the kicker.
“This is an extremely disturbing video,” said spokeswoman Amanda Kwan. “The NYPD is actively investigating this incident and we will offer any and all assistance we can provide.”
It’s time for these people to atone for their unwillingness to stop this crime. Since you were too cowardly to physically intervene, then speak up! Talk to the police. Somebody knows who this abominable creature is. Because if you keep allowing the thugs in your midst to get away with crimes like this, nothing is ever going to get better for you.
