Subway riders deliver street justice to brute who grabbed screaming woman on platform
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. But after catching her breath, Marshall made a second lunge for the woman but was stopped in his tracks by a stranger who tripped him up -- sending him flying headfirst onto the ground. The group then pounced on Marshall, delivering him a beatdown with an onslaught of kicks while another person appeared to strike him repeatedly with a stick. The distraught woman can be seen sprinting away from the scene in distress, with one of her sneakers appearing to have fallen off during the terrifying ordeal. Police said she suffered shoulder pain and minor injuries to her stomach and arms. EMS responded and treated her at the scene. The incident took place at the Norwood Avenue subway station at 9 a.m. Marshall was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, as well as third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. The TikTok video has racked up nearly 7 million views in three days. Commenters praise the actions of the bystanders "Boy moms, make sure you are raising men like this who protect our daughters from depraved," wrote one woman. "My heart hurts hearing her call for her mom at the end, thinking that could be any of our daughters." Her comment has nearly 19,000 likes. "This is how our men are supposed to respond," was the most popular response with 170,000 likes. Police said Marshall, of Queens, has no priors in New York City.

Horrifying screams of young woman as towering attacker tries to kidnap her in broad daylight
Disturbing video footage shows a young woman screaming in terror as a brutish attacker wrestles her to the ground after following her onto a New York City subway platform in broad daylight, police said. The frightening clip captured the assailant, dressed in all white, holding the victim against her will as a group of passengers looked on at the Norwood Avenue station in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn on Sunday morning. Shouts of 'Let her go!' could be heard as the suspect gripped the woman from behind while she continued to shriek hysterically, the video showed. After concerned witnesses stepped in and the victim managed to break free, the suspect then lunged at the woman before toppling her to the ground. That's when a group of good Samaritans surrounded the suspect, allowing the woman to scramble to her feet and run away missing one of her shoes. Several men appeared to hold the man down and pummel him before eventually backing away, the video showed. The accused attacker, Fredrick Marshall, 42, of Queens, was arrested and charged with harassment, assault and criminal weapons possession for having a knife and a 'blackjack' baton, the NYPD said. The unidentified victim, 20, suffered minor injuries to her stomach and arms, police said. Emergency responders treated her at the scene. It's unclear if the victim knew her attacker. Police said the two got into a verbal dispute after the suspect followed her onto the train platform. Footage of the attack spread on social media, racking up more than a million views - and loads of praise for the witnesses who intervened. 'Great job men! Finally some street justice,' one commenter wrote on Instagram. 'Exactly what I like to see, men standing up for women,' another replied. 'Her screams were pure fear,' a third wrote. There have been 1,051 transit-related crimes across New York City this year through June 29 - a 3 percent decrease from the same period in 2024, NYPD data shows.

Video shows good Samaritans stop assault on Brooklyn subway platform
Police say bystanders came to a 20-year-old woman's rescue after she was assaulted on a subway platform in Brooklyn. The incident was caught on video and has since gotten millions of views on TikTok. "I've never seen nothing like that in my life" It happened on a J train platform at the Norwood Avenue station Sunday morning. Witness Rondel Whitfield was on his way to church when he says he saw a woman screaming as a man grabbed her. "I had no other choice but to interfere to see what the situation was," Whitfield said. Video shows witnesses yelling at the man to let her go. "I said, 'Brother please, just let the lady go. You know what I'm saying? Let the lady go.' He's like no. He just started being real barbaric. Like, I've never seen nothing like that in my life," Whitfield said. Police say the woman managed to escape the man's grip as at least five people, including Whitfield, held him down. The good Samaritans stayed with the man, who police identify as 42-year-old Fredrick Marshall, of Queens. He has been charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. "You can't just watch and do nothing" The woman's mother, who doesn't want to be identified, was able to rush over and says Marshall didn't resist officers when he was later arrested. "She was just saying, 'Mom, he's trying to take me, he's trying to take me,' and I'm like trying to run to her as fast as I can, but when I got to the train station, the MTA clerk had her in the booth, safe," the mother said. The witness who took the video, which now has at least 5 million views on TikTok, told CBS News New York in Spanish, "There are still people with a good heart who help those in need. You can't just watch and do nothing. It could have been my sister, my mother." Police say the 20-year-old victim complained of shoulder pain and suffered minor injuries to her stomach and arms. Her mom says she's traumatized, but that she's since been able to go to work. For now, she expresses her gratitude. "I'm very, very, grateful for those that were there helping my daughter. I am so, so, so, so grateful 'cause if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have my child today," the mother said.
