Man is Punching People on Houston Metro Rail Platform
KBXX-FM ^ | May 20, 2014 | Maria Todd

Houston METRO police need your help apprehending a man who is punching people on a rail platform.

According to surveillance video, a man walked up to a passenger who had just exited a train onto the platform at Main Street near Preston downtown and punched him in the face.

The video then shows the same man punching another man as he gets onto the train from the same platform.

METRO Police Chief Victor Rodriguez says he doesn’t think the attacks are related to the so-called “knockout game.”

“A review of the tape does not indicate that anybody else is involved,” Rodriguez said. “And, therefore, in the knockout game, you typically do that in front of an audience or in front of somebody who’s at least taping it.”

Despite these events, Rodriguez says Houston has one of the safest rail systems in the country.

If you know anything about these assaults, contact police.

The police almost always try to deny that their incident is part of the larger "knockout game," especially in the bigger cities. And how about that description of the alleged perpetrator, huh?

Oh, well, that makes me feel better. Good thing he's on the case.

Well, punch the bastard back, and make sure he takes a bite out of the third rail. Problem solved. That's how we should be fixing it.

This is the new and much more entertaining “Punch Face” game.

Maybe the lack of a description, IS a description.

at first I thought is was another UFO alien posing has a human being having an anxiety attack. Those aliens disguised as humans are constantly getting in trouble, you know. Most of our prison inmates are these types, you know. However, when I saw this video, what a bummer, man! No UFO alien sighting here! Not even a pie pan in the sky. I find out it was just another black dude. Not much excitement there. Close the bar! Just another boring day in paradise (darn!).

"Houston METRO police need your help apprehending a man who is punching people on a rail platform."

Odd that the KBXX-FM(Houston News92) article urgently requests help in ID-ing the perp--but no descriptive hint or help whatsoever is supplied by KBXX-FM--even though News92's very article describes the existence of a surveillance video that begs for a link in the search for the puncher.

Could KBXX-FM be holding back on that link out of PC delicacy?

No problem for the NY Daily News.

It offers a crystal clear view of the violent offender--no apologies necessary.

The guy is black just like the rest of the Black perps that are smashing non black people in the head, the face wherever they can.

I believe someone is telling these black perps to do this.

I do not recall these types of crimes going on when Bush was in office. seems like these black perps are running a muck and have been ramping up their crap since 2009 when the biggest black perp was elected.

Well, if it wasn’t a space alien, then I thought it might be the Amish again. They are such brutes. If not a space alien or the Amish, then I figured there was only one other choice. You and I were both right, again.

No descriptive hint? They said “man,” didn’t they?

“A man”.

That narrows it down.

All metro police chiefs are politicians first, care about cops 2d and the populace comes in 3d.

Our so-called “justice system” protects thugs like this. This thug and thugs like him wouldn’t be a problem if we were allowed to deal with them. He needs to be weeded out of society.

A unprovoked black on white hate crime ? Who wudda thunk it? According to “Liberals” these daily violent attacks are urban myths. Notice how the Corrupt Liberal Media doesn’t even raise the possibility of this being so.
