Swine Flu Fears Lead to Girl-on-Girl Brawl on D Train

After a rough spring that saw as many as 20 to 40 percent of New Yorkers exposed to H1N1, subway riders have resorted to defending themselves with their fists.
Violence struck on a southbound D train Monday morning after two women got into an argument over one's refusal to cover her mouth while coughing. It ended with her spitting on the other, a punch, and the second woman dragging the first to the floor of the car by her hair.
Here's the play-by-play account, as witnessed firsthand by The Business Insider's Lawrence Delevingne:
"No one got the conductor -- it just seemed like a shouting match -- but as the train pulled into 42nd Street, the coughing woman spit on the other, provoking what sounded like a punch from the reaction of the crowd (we didn't directly see it). Then the cougher attempted to exit the train as the doors were open, but the second woman grabbed her by the back of the hair, violently yanking her down to the floor."

I have to admit the coughing spitter was pretty disgusting and deserved a good hair pulling kick in the ass

Stay classy, New York!

I would be pretty peeved too if someone spit on me

In ten years...I have never taken the D train. Now I know why.

Peeved? I believe the word you were looking for is PISSED

I don't know why that woman was SO PISSED off! I mean, NYC is 10 million people deep.....if it exists we are exposed to it. There is no avoiding it. ESPECIALLY in the subway which is fucking filthy. I try to avoid touching the railings..everything but its impossible.

Sure it was gross that the woman didn't cover her mouth...but the other lady probably touched swine flu, regular flu, rat plague, herpes and fecal matter just on her walk down the stairs.

Give me a break. Way over dramatic if you ask me. She needs to turn her tv off and stop being so effected by the 24 hour fear mongering news.

ive taken the D and everytime i do there is a shouting match it's very scary.

I have taken the D, when I was in NY last. I imagine the residents of NY had an inkling I was from Florida and left me the fuck alone.

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many New Yorkers become Florida transplants. I suppose they are attracted to the fact that they get their daily dose of massive dysfunction but with better weather and lower cost of living.

I love NY

They like to live on the edge.

Nothing like that ever happens on MY boring morning commute. I need to change jobs I guess.
