Brute kicks elderly woman on Bronx train; bystanders take cell phone video and don't help [View all]



https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-brute-subway-elderly-attack-20190322-kku6m7fw7bdpnk25lenut5neza-story.html

Someone eventually called police and when the victim got off the train at the next stop an EMS crew was there waiting for her. She was treated for bleeding and swelling from the cuts on her face.

Outrage spilled on social media at the man behind the attack and the man behind the cell phone camera. The user who posted the video said he did not take it, but it was not clear how he obtained it.

“Why was the person taking the video and the people around him NOT WILLING TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT THEN?,” one Twitter user asked. “Don’t pull out your phone folks pull out your fists! Stand up and protect life!”
