Straphanger slugged by irate seatmate, wrestles attacker to ground: 'Turned into a little b-ch'
Briefly

Footage taken by another straphanger captured the two staring each other down, before Barbee yelled 'It's f-king done, stop staring at me' - and proceeded to tell the protesting Rakitin 'make me chill' and 'shut the f-k up.' Their verbal exchange quieted for a moment while they continued to stare each other down, before Barbee said 'I ain't got time to go to jail today.' Then he smacked Rakitin across the face - sending his glasses flying - before the camera cut out.
I was able to wrestle him to the ground after that, and just kind of hold him. And the craziest part was that - and this is literally upsetting, like I'm actually emotional about it - people on the train were trying to help him. Like, that was the most insane thing.
He went from acting like such a thug. And then he turned into a little b-ch right away. He's like, 'I can't breathe. Please, let me go. Please, let me go. I can't breathe. Somebody give me some water. I can't breathe.' And people started giving him water. That was so insane.
People started helping [Barbee], and they were like, 'Dude, just let him go. Let him go.' I'm like, 'Are you crazy?' Like, if I let him go, he's just gonna retaliate.
