Shocking NYC Subway Confrontation Sees Woman Get Socked In The Face After Confronting A “Manspreader”

Modern life has spawned a bevy of new words never heard even a decade ago. And unless you’re a big city dweller in a metropolis with public transportation, you may not be familiar with the term “manspreading,” so let us explain.

manspreading at nyc subwayWhen a tall guy sits down on a public bus or train and spreads his leg wide, effectively taking up the two `adjacent seats or making whoever is sitting in them very uncomfortable, it’s called “manspreading.” And one recent incident on a Big Apple subway shows that manspreading is nothing to laugh about.

That’s putting it mildly: the man yelled every expletive in the book at her, and then punched her in the mouth, giving her a bloody lip.

And while another passenger caught it all on tape, the fortunate young woman, 37-year-old Sam Saia, saw her knight in shining armor appear, an off-duty, tall, strapping cop, who was completely unfazed by the much shorter and scrappier pugilist.

It was early morning commuter hours, but Good Samaritan confronted the other man and looked him dead in the eye, telling him calmly but firmly to get off the train at the next stop.

Saia posted a picture on her Facebook page later on of her badly busted lip. Another passenger posted the video of the entire encounter on his social media, and naturally, it went viral.

Even after the hitter tried to apologize to Saia, who was having none of it, the knight insisted he just get off the train at the next stop, and it looks like the puncher did just that.
