SUBHEAD: The terrifying incident has generated nearly 7M views on TikTok

A group of everyday New York City subway riders delivered some street justice to a crazed man who randomly grabbed a screaming woman on a platform and ushered her forward, dramatic viral video shows.

The group sprang into action on Sunday morning atop a Brooklyn subway platform when they heard the young woman screech for help as the heavy-set man bear hugged her from behind and propelled her forward.

"Stop, stop, help," the 20-year-old woman can be heard yelling as a group of onlookers quickly surrounds him and demands that he let her go.

She eventually broke free of the man, identified by police as 42-year-old Fredrick Marshall...Police said he was armed with a knife and a blackjack, and the woman did not know Marshall.

Has Letitia arrested them yet?

I refer to the rescuers, of course.

Should have beat him to a pulp…. Too often, the public stands by while thugs get their way. Even if arrested by police, they’re released by some bleeding heart liberal judge. Our civilized society needs to make sure our society remains civilized by beating the “un” out of the uncivilized. A

Was he going to throw her in front of a train?

I’m not arguing against intervening. Folks who do so are heroes. But to be fair, the average citizen is not trained in quick response. So some people will freeze when faced with unexpected violence.

Plus, more than one NYC Good Samaritan has been killed while trying to intervene. Perhaps bystanders consider that. Here’s just one story:

released without the need to post bail:

“Marshall was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, as well as third-degree assault and second-degree harassment.”

“Marshall — who cops say has no prior arrests — was granted supervised release during his arraignment the next day, as the charges are not bail-eligible, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.”

Good.
This is a pleasant surprise.

Usually they are too busy recording the event with their cell phone cameras for their TikTok and Youtube channels, and hoping for lots of blood from the victim.

Thank God people are finally reaching their limit with this kind of crap nd taking matters into their own hands.

Yes I hope they beat him senseless so he cannot become a recidivist.

No doubt he’ll sue the city for failing to protect him and win $1 million verdict.

>>Should have beat him to a pulp

‘interference in criminal activity’ is a felony in NYC.

Daniel Penny, Bernhard Goetz, and many, many others have been maliciously prosecuted for that.
