Guardian Angels pounce on NYC subway rider allegedly hitting elderly passenger

The Guardian Angels pounced on a subway rider who was assaulting an elderly woman in the Bronx on Saturday, according to Curtis Sliwa, the group’s founder.

The incident happened about noon on a D train at 167th Street, when three Guardian Angels saw a man and woman yelling at the elderly straphanger, Sliwa said.

“The man reaches out and smacks her multiple times,” he said. “The Guardian Angels, three of them, jump the guy.”

NYPD officers, who were at the station, arrested the man, but he was released on a desk appearance ticket, Sliwa said.

The same trio of Guardian Angels about an hour earlier Saturday saw an emotionally disturbed man holding a baby and yelling at a female passenger, who was a stranger, on board a 4 train at 138th Street in the Bronx, according to Sliwa. He said the Angels escorted the woman to another car.

No point in turning him over to “authoritys”. Best to just make him disappear.

He's on a train...so just needs to be "dropped off" at the train tunnel entrance.

See Yellowstone series for the true meaning.

“NYPD officers, who were at the station, arrested the man, but he was released on a desk appearance ticket, Sliwa said.”

As long as the NYC prosecutor’s office continues their policy of catch and release, this sort of thing will continue unabated.

It's a good thing they were there. For years now,under DiBlasio *and* Adams,the NYPD has been ordered to focus on pronouns and microaggressions.

For years I was in the habit of regularly taking day trips to NYC on “Megabus”. If you booked in advance you could get a $1 promotional fare which is what I did. It was cheaper than staying home. But since the Rat Party's virus panic I can't get them any more but it's just as well...I no longer have any desire to set foot in the city.

The Guardian Angels are the constitutional militia, which means the NYPD views them as threat to their near monopoly on police power.

I haven’t been to NYC in years. Back in the late 70’s (during the high crime and Bernie Goetz era) I would visit my uncle regularly who worked as a researcher at Montefiore hospital in the North Bronx. I’d ride the subway going from my hotel in Midtown Manhattan to visit him at work as the subway went through the Harlem and the South Bronx to get there and would get rather nervous as gang members would get on at those points, eyeing people as if they were sizing up an easy victim to rob.

I was with a girlfriend who whispered into my ear, those gang members are eyeing my purse and I’m NOT giving it up. There was 8-10 of them and I’m thinking oh great now I’m going to get killed trying to defend her. So I faked bravado and gave them a hard look and reached into my jacket as if I had a gun and they decided to back off. I breathed a sigh of relief then made a note to myself that in the future I would find a girlfriend who was more willing to give up here purse instead of expecting me to risk my life for it lol.

I learned in the 70's that you put your purse under your coat in NYC....not easily visible or reachable.
