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.

This happened last Saturday night a little after midnight.
Thank you for posting this! I want to know what BFPL is. There are black liberation idiots out there right now who want to have a weekend of violence. I’m wondering if this is the beginning.
Let them try this garbage with me.
As good an argument as I’ve ever seen to get your CCW. A .45 cal hole blown in one of those hooligans would have quieted things down in a hurry, gang or no gang.
Gawd, but I hate big cities.

A quick google on BFPL gives the impression its a Hip Hop band in Atlanta.

B.F.P.L. = Those people = Obama’s people.
Was there ever any doubt?
They need to record a little ditty about one of their fans exsanguinating in public.
I last rode on MARTA during the ‘96 Olympics. I’m glad that I haven’t had to do so again.
Savages. And cowed people just sat there and watched. This would not happen in Texas. Someone with a gun would be there, and that’s why we love living here.
I think they work for AG Holder?
Really? For people to 'witness that' is ridiculous? How about the violent acts committed on the two victims? Jeez Louise.....
Or the Bulgarian Professional Football League.
MARTA: Moving African-Americans Rapidly Through Atlanta
I used to ride them when I flew out of the airport, but not anymore. Not matter what time of the day you go, you always see crazy stuff when riding Marta.
Almost had a run-in on a train in Philly a few weeks ago with these ‘types’.
