A disturbing video shows a woman riding the subway in New York City asking for commuters to help her while she is being beaten by a thug, while other riders appear to ignore her cries.
In the footage, which was shot on Wednesday and uploaded on Daily Dot, the hoodlum can be seen stomping about the train car while hurling expletives. Black leggings, a white cropped zipped hoodie, and white sneakers complete his ensemble.
After the frenzied fit the person sits down as many of the passengers rush to another area of the train. As one female passenger, closest to the hoodlum, tries to flee, the thug grabs her and terrorizes the victim.
The bandit is seen in the video grabbing hold of the woman’s hair while pushing her down into the seat.
The victim is visibly distraught and crying out: ‘Help! Help!’ as other riders ignore her pleas, as the disturbing scene plays out.
Moments later, the vandal screams to the woman, ‘Get Up!’ before shoving her to another area of the subway car, before walking away.
The hooligan proceeds to scream obscenities and trashes around the subway car before kicking in the window of the moving train.
When the subway pulled into the station platform, the terror-filled ride ceased and the hooligan walked into the crowd of people nowhere to be seen.
It is not clear what time the incident occurred and what train line it was.
When DailyMail.com contacted the New York Police Department on Friday for more information on the attack, they said they were ‘looking into it,’ but had no reports of incident filed at this time.
New Yorkers have been frazzled by the latest spite in violence and crimes on the city streets and subways.
On Sunday, Daniel Enriquez, a 48-year-old Goldman Sachs employee was riding the Q train from his home in Park Slope, Brooklyn to Manhattan when a gunman, believed to be Andrew Abdullah, opened fire as the train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge in an unprovoked attack.
In April, during the morning commute, suspect Frank James opened fire on a Manhattan-bound N train. No one was killed. James was charged with carrying out a terror attack against a mass transit system and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, reports said.
While murders and shootings are down 11 and three percent from the already crime-riddled 2021 under lame duck Mayor Bill de Blasio, overall crime in the Big Apple is up 40 percent so far in 2022.
That includes a 19 percent rise in felony assaults, a 12 percent increase in rapes and a 42 percent jump in robberies.
Transit is up the highest at 62 percent as well – and the the recent rise in subway crime has set New Yorkers on edge.
