What precinct did you call.

[ErnBatavia]

Somebody shoulda yelled, "Let's Roll!"....that might have quieted him down.

Anywhere but NYC and I would say that this guy was nuts.

Glad to hear that everything turned out ok. These types of stories will opo up from tinme to time because people are very on edge. This guy has issues beyond being a muslim. He would have done something similar had the events of 9/11 not taken place but he may have carried it out differently. Nuts is still nuts people. Yes there are more loonies then ever but the city as a whole seems more peaceful then ever.

LIke I said glad to hear this storry turned out to have a safe ending. Thanks for sharing and I hope others will point on things that they spot to keep everyone aware and informed.

Several other passengers momentarily subdue the bad guy . . .

This is the real problem in a nutshell. If you are in a position to subdue someone like this, make sure the police have to peel him off the floor with a spoon.

As far as NYC gun laws are concerned, don't let them stand in your way. If you are afraid to carry an unlicensed firearm, there is an effective substitute. I would recommend a can of hornet spray and a lighter. If you have a problem with someone in a confined space like this and must resort to any means to protect yourself, the combination of these two can be used to project a long stream of flame at the assailant. This spray is intended to be used on a hornet's nest from a safe distance, so when you use it in this manner you can probably strike someone a full subway car length away from you without having dispersal effects from the flame on adjoining passengers.

Even if you don't actually hit your assailant and he manages to flee the scene, DNA evidence may be obtained from the enormous quantities of piss and crap that he leaves behind.

If the assailant is not armed with a gun but is approaching you from a short distance with a hand weapon, then a brief burst without the lighter will soak him down a bit. That way he will ignite in a particularly impressive manner when you use the flame.

Are you sure you are not partly to blame for his attack? Do you support Israel? How about repressive Arab regimes?

He is one of Muhamed's messengers.

Several other passengers momentarily subdue the bad guy - train pulls into the station - bad guy attempts to non-chalantly leave the the train and the station.

How did they subdue him? And why did they then let him go?

[Spiff]

I share in the others' skepticism about this incident.

Nice story Fuji.

"African American", "one in the pipe", "no safety", "convicted murderer" so he can be taken at his word???????.

But can you?

[aculeus]

Congrats on nailing this creep!

You're da man!

[finnman69]

WOW!

The worst thing to happen to me on the 1 train lately has been a guy throwing up all over himself in my car. I notice more homeless guys begging for money again.

Theeeerrrrrrreee BaaaacckkkkkkKK!!!!!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Somebody owes John Rocker an apology.

[Ada Coddington]

The No. 1 local is known as "The Bernard Goetz" by the old timers.

[Constitutional Patriot]

Hey...isn't it illegal for a non-cop to carry a gun in New York? Sounds like NYC needs more gun control!! (\sarcasm)

[RobbyS]

Glad this guy had no plan. Take Care.

[xm177e2]

Then they check his waistband where they find A LOADED 9 MILLIMETER HANDGUN, with one in the pipe, gun has no safety.

Glocks don't have external safeties, just internal ones.

[Vicki]

What a scary situation! Another reason for concealed carry although I know that is not allowed in New York.

"Do I think this guy is a member of al queda ? No, not even they would want an idiot like this."

Don't bank on that.
Watched any film out of Pakistan or Afganistan lately?
Next time you do watch, try to look into one of the mob's eyes.
They'd take this one, alright.

...& with open arms.
