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, who was dressed in a white suit with a white baseball cap and sunglasses. Police said he was armed with a knife and a blackjack, and the woman did not know Marshall.
