LOS ANGELES -- An elderly man was terrorized on a Metro bus and it was all caught on camera. Another bus rider appears to strike the man and screams at him after the older man accidentally sat on him.
The incident happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday near Wilshire Avenue and Vermont Boulevard.
"I started filming it for my husband who doesn't realize all the crazy stuff that happens on the bus all the time, and then it got really intense," said Erica Rodriguez, who captured the incident on camera.
Rodriguez says she's not really surprised that no one stepped in to help the man.
"It was definitely scary. I mean, you hear about people on buses with guns all the time in L.A. and it was concerning, but luckily, that didn't happen," said Rodriguez.
The bus finally stopped and most riders got off. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies say they did get a call about the incident, but say the man was gone by the time they arrived.
Need a few hundred Paul Kersey’s in LA to clean things up a little.
The man said, “don’t underestimate a black man”.
This is the simmering pot Barry is trying his hardest to boil over.
I think it’s starting to roil...
We do, heavy too.
When It’s crowded I rush to grab a seat so I can offer it to an elderly person.
Have that black feller look up the new definition, "to be trayvoned".
Did you hear that black chick say your leaking man is that what those black ass crakers call bleeding “leaking
‘
You bet he is. Just think, a President of the United States is about to accomplish what Charles Manson could not -- a race war.
What? That it was those surly Amish acting up again? lol
Easy bet. Especially these days.
LOL
SOB. He’d get alot more from me, too.
Of course, if the old white man said that stupid anti-holy word just once while being abused, HE’D be all over the news as some evil racist and probably lynched by now.
People are pathetic - NO ONE does a damn thing. Sick.
“Rodriguez says she’s not really surprised that no one stepped in to help the man.”
Including she, herself.
Um, what are you talking about?
I have to admit, being L.A. it could be another type. Aren’t too many of the usual out there.
can anyone make out the insignia on the black man’s hat.
Looks like he was extending his TWO MINUTES OF HATE.
That reminds me. I have to post a thread on ESP.
I looked at the video. The grey bearded guy punched the punk more than once. I saw the the blood and I saw the punk’s bloody mouth.
I may be wrong, but I believe that he claimed to be 77. He does not appear to me to be in his 50’s.
