L Train Guy Assaults Performer? NYers make peace (Assault before I started filming) Part 2









I did not get the assault on camera -- what follows is a lot of talking and a de-escalation of what had become physical thanks to passengers that took action.  The older guy should not have touched the young guy.



A young performer asked this man to move.  He refused and instructed the group of performers to get out.   I didn't see the young man touch the guy but the guy either hit or shoved the young man -- it looked like he assaulted the Performerers

The guy said get off the train. He did not want blaring music and entertainment.



He got physical.  Group of diverse NYers including a woman made peace.  The kids did get off at the next stop.



The man acted like he was auditioning for Dirty Harry minus the gun.
