ATLANTA -- Two Delta Airlines employees were attacked on a MARTA train
MARTA police said they were investigating the incident. A witness said he watched the violent attack unfold Sunday.
"We were intimidated. Everyone was terrified. People were trying to run, but there was nowhere to run," the man, who requested anonymity, told Channel 2's Erica Byfield.
Around midnight, a MARTA train pulled up to the Garnett Station in Downtown Atlanta, authorities said. The witness said up to 30 people boarded the southbound train.
"Once the doors opened, it was like a bum rush of people," he told Byfield. "The next thing you know, they started just beating him. There was blood everywhere. People were hollering and screaming," he said.
A MARTA police report identified two victims as Delta Airlines employees. The report said one victim had a soda can smashed in his face and his wallet stolen, while the other was punched repeatedly in his face.
The witness said the attackers were teens chanting "B. F. P. L."
"I don't know if that's a gang," the witness said.
By the time the train made it to West End stop, some riders were desperate to get off, but the car doors would not open, the witness said.
"So basically we were just trapped," he said.

i wonder if they picked the Delta people because they wouldn't have a gun on them.
Those nondescript teens are at it again.
People ran, and so did the MBTA workers. No one helped us.
Almost had a run-in on a train in Philly a few weeks ago with these ‘types’.
Not really, but I’m definitely going to ride with my wife or mother if they have to use MARTA.
This wasn’t a “gang,” unless you mean a gang of normal black Atlanta teenagers.
Yup.
Bring It On!
I am so very ready.
BFPL apparently is a nationwide network of rap/hip-hop “musicians”.

Oh.....my.......gosh......
Words can't describe it.
That quote bothered me too. Why should anyone have to experience the beat down?
Where’s Bernie Goetz when you need him?
Of course engineers would tell you it stands for Brittle Fracture Pressure Limit......
Thankfully, no. Based on the Wikipedia article, that would make a horror film.
