Man arrested after punching woman over apparent 'manspreading' comment on subway

BENSONHURST, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A man has been arrested after reportedly punching a woman in the face over a 'manspreading' complaint on the subway in Manhattan.

Derek Smith, 56, was arrested and charged with assault on Saturday evening.

Samantha Saia said the ordeal started as soon as she took a seat next to the man on an N train in Bensonhurst during the morning commute.

"He started pushing me and manspreading me into the wall," Saia said.

That's when Saia said he turned violent.

"He told me expletive, you expletive, I've raped white b****** like you before. You're nothing and then he elbowed me," she said.

So she said she put her earbuds back in and then it turned even uglier.

"He said 'Don't ignore me. I felt this.' I turned around and bam, I banged my head into a wall. And at that point I just felt blood gushing."

Her lip was bruised, swollen and bloodied.

But it could have been worse if a Good Samaritan didn't step in, and that's when a passenger on the train started recording.

The Good Samaritan jumped in and confronted the subway attacker. He forced the man to exit the train at the next stop.

Sounds like your ex might be a bit touched. Five times being mugged should be more than enough for even the most daft person to catch on.

I don’t care what political persuasion this woman is, she didn’t deserve that. And this feral animal needs to be put down like a dog.

You are so right and good for you. These Muslims that love to intimidate women which is all of them are basically cowards. If they can’t bluff and bluster their way they back down. They don’t want to fight a man.

Mr. GG2 got into it with a Paki in the parking lot of CVS not long ago. The guy jumped out of his truck like he was going to charge and Mr. GG2 told him he was going to kick his raghead azz. So he decided to jump back in his truck. LOL!

That’s hilarious!

Mr GG2 sounds like my kind of guy.

The reality is there’s more of than they think. Muslims hate us, liberals hate us, but there’s still a lot of us, they can’t win without a hell of a fight which quite frankly I don’t see them winning.

I would not sit next to this guy and I am just a little smaller than the good Sam. None of my family but especially the women would get near that guy. He just simply screams crazy unstable fascist. Maybe she had sensitivity training and wished to express her bona fide anti white feelings.

A few weeks ago my wife and I were riding the subway on a crowded day. Some woman in a tight short skirt started yelling at some guy on the station platform, caught my attention as well as others. Woman wanders over towards a group of tourists sitting, and drops something from her open purse. One of the male tourists does the gentleman thing, picking up the items and going to hand it to her. Then she is yelling obscenities at him. No good deed goes unpunished. Then she starts wandering around the platform on a tirade. Our train comes, and I make sure my eyes are watching her so we don't get pushed into the train's path; others watching her as well. As she gets close to us, I see that "she" has the stubble of a beard and mustache; "she" is a he! Good grief! We get into the subway car, thinking we're okay we're out of here.

Then "she" throws her arm and shoulder into the path of the closing doors, attempting to get into the car. Train operator on the loudspeaker telling "her" to not block the door, train can't leave until "she" stops blocking the door. This went on for several minutes before "she" yanked her arm free and stayed on the platform. So when riding the subway avoid strange "women" in tight mini-skirts! I have had several encounters on the subway that almost ended up in a fist-fight, challenging someone else in my face. But this situation with a cross-dressing tranny is one I would avoid for sure.

Where is Bernie Goetz when you need him? I would say a few of Ann Coulters’ burley men riding around looking for people like that would put a stop to it real quick. None of this Guardian Angel crap.

Why would ANYONE live in a hellhole like that? Having to endure both the feminist whacko screaming “manspreading!” and the feral black thug who brutalizes her? NO THANKS! I want nothing to do with the big Democrat-controlled hive cities.

‘Sir, I believe this is your stop”

“Exactly”

WHY? Why would you live in a place where you have to be herded like cattle onto a train just to get to work? Horrifying.

WHY?

It was Fleet Week in San Francisco. Hundreds of thousands poured into the City for festivities, nearly impossible to drive in and park, so taking the subway and walking to the piers was the best way. Thousands of normal people including many sailors/military personnel, and many families and tourists. Spent an enjoyable day including a great lunch with a bay window to watch the Blue Angels perform while we ate. We're long retired, and don't miss doing the subway commute. As for the commute, both of us were very well paid and didn't mind the commute. With parking going for $20 (minimum) and up per day, the trains were a bargain.

" Let’s start the party. I leaned closer and told him I know he’s just a rapeugee. "

Way to go!

I felt a little bad about that part later. I was a bit fired up when I said it, but it probably wasn’t the Christian thing to say. I was goading him.

I do wish we’d just drop all pretenses and get this done though.

You were separating the rapeuge from a potential victim......if I were you, feeling bad wouldn't even happen. What would the outcome have been if YOU had not been there?

Again I say, way to go?

I meant I felt bad for goading him. I was trying to lure him into trying to hit me.
