Craziness!!

Darryl George, who was threatened with death by the wannabe screwdriver stabber, a 42-year-old man named Richard Arrocho, who attempted to commandeer the train, Speed-style, to get away from whomever he thought was trying to kill him. Fortunately passengers came to George's rescue, and George also was able to get Arrocho in a headlock "as the train rumbled down the tracks" -- and then escape, leaving Arrocho in the cab by himself. That's when passengers again got involved, telling Arrocho something that sounds like "open the bloodclot door" and "relax yourself."
Cops met up with the train at Jackson Avenue and Arrocho, who has a history of mental illness and has been arrested "at least 40 times since 1985," surrendered without incident, other than everything that just happened, of course.

The guy has been arrested 40 times since 1985!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how those guys risked everything to come to the motorman's aid.

Why does it seem like the 2/5 train have the most incidents?

Too bad it didn't happen right at Dyre Ave.
The Jamaicans there would have eaten that guy alive.
I spent many a year on that train....and there's always something going on.

I live in Nevada now and carry a fully loaded 9mm everywhere I go.
Thousands here do.
This N E V E R would have lasted as long as it did there.

Sorry you guys have to deal with nuts like that on your way to work.
Sucks I know.

Unlike here in NYC right? The only way you can get away with carrying a loaded weapon (ie. having a permit to carry) is if you know someone on the force.

Even knowing somebody on the force might not help your chances.

Almost impossible to get a CCW in NYC.

Yet another reason to move.

You can't bring weapons of any kind on the subway....and the cabs are bullet proof so what good would a gun really do?
