   I have reached a point where I have turned down jobs with long subway   
   rides because the stress of riding has run off the scale.  Last   
   Wednesday, a yelling homeless man grabbed a women by her hair and pushed   
   her head into the door, which caused everyone to move to the other end   
   of the car.  This was on the B train, car 6253 maybe?  at 9AM at W4th   
   northbound.   
      
   When I infomred the cops, they did nothing.  The rest of the car,   
   trapped in the car, essentially just moved to the far side and tried to   
   ignore it as the pour women was sobbering and got off at Bryant Park.   
      
   This is not the only such event I've seen in the last 6 months.
