It's funny how the article states that (asking someone to remove their bag on the seat) is a "common courtesy" when in fact the common courtesy is not putting your crap on the seats to begin with!! It drives me crazy when people act like they purchased a subway ride for their bags. Put the stuff in your lap or on the floor!!

What many considers a common courtesy on the subway led to a stabbing in Manhattan where two men were injured Tuesday night. Police say a 55-year-old man riding southbound on the A train in lower Manhattan asked a 40-year-old fellow passenger to remove his bag from a seat so he can sit down. The seated man refused and the confrontation led to a fight.
But in any case, I guess I should be a little more wary before asking someone to move their stuff, since I might get stabbed for asking.
The end result would not have happened of the person taking up the extra seat had just occupied the one he was entitled to. See this all too often on trains and I imagine buses as well. God forbid a stranger sits next to another person

I think so , I’m not justifying the attack tho . That guy is an animal but ppl like that have quick triggered temper . All he asked was for a seat lol , when I do have a bag I move it so ppl can sit down because standing is a ***** on the train if your going a lot of stops . But smh too late now , just another crazy day in NYC

Next time you spot a bag on a seat, think of it as a bait and temptation for you to get into trouble...refrain from the desire to sit down would be my advice, no matter how tired you might feel...
time to have business class subway wagons designated so for those of us who are willing to pay a little extra can be spared from the "deplorables" in the mass...
Video of him running. Too bad they only tazed him.
