A woman got her noggin stuck between the doors of a 4 train in The Bronx — and fellow straphangers strolled right by without stopping to help her, a video shows.

Why is she (the head stuck lady) just standing there? Why is the person filming just standing there? Stupid video.

Why is this a news story? All you have to do is wait for the train operator to open the doors again, and this is exactly what happened. If anybody tried to "help" her, they would've been stopped by the MTA employee for trying to break the doors.

The train is not going anywhere.

I'm impressed that it wasn't in true Bronx fashion where somebody ran by and snatched her bag while she was stuck.

I thought I heard her yelling for help. I am glad I don't live there.

So the person who filmed the video said "I’m just trying to figure out why everybody walking past like nothing is happening,” yet he is just sitting there filming her. If he thought someone should have stopped to help her, maybe he should have put down the phone and done so himself.

The person who took the video was in another train on the other side of the tracks. He could not help her.

Because she just had her hair done and didn't want to leave her head behind?
