I love how there’s a guy getting choked, and people just get out of the way. Hell, one guy near the end just stands there while the guy gets his head shoved off the end of the seat!

Some how, this will be the NYPD’s fault too.
There was a high school “Basket-brawl” last night at a game in Madison Square Garden. Lincoln and Boys & Girls schools were playing each other when the fights broke out.
There was a pretty flagrant foul that some fans flipped out over.
The male, who was wearing a brown jacket, was pulled over the railing by school safety officers and appeared to not be resisting, but four officers are seen beating him. Two of the officers struck the boy several times with their batons.
For the love. That’s all we need. Is this Al Sharpton’s busy season or what? Here’s a concept…if you start a fight in a public arena, and you’re swinging at people, you might get your skull cracked by a baton. Cost of doing business.
By now, you’re probably saying, “True, but what does this have to do with the subway?” Well, the melee spilled out into the streets, and into the subway. Somehow, the brawl traveled from MSG up to Times Square. There in the subway, the fighting continued. The CBS 2 video shows the cops flooding into the subway to break up more fights.
21 people were arrested, one of which had a gun. So yeah, let’s worry about people getting roughed up by the police in this kind of fight. After all, the combatants are only carrying guns in the subway…no biggie. Oh, did I mention that there were even shots fired?
Hey, what about those MTA signs that say “Illegal possession of a fire arm in the subway carries a minimum of 3 1/2 years in prison?” Sounds like they are really working.

Subway Steve, The One-Man-Band
I see this guy on a fairly regular basis. He’s really good. Fantastic trumpet player.
It’s official, 7 train riders can come get drunk with the rest of us!
Yes, that’s right. Stranded weekend 7 train riders in the outer boroughs can come celebrate St. Patrick’s Daywith the rest of us in Manhattan. The MTA has decided to officially resume weekend 7 train service just for the holiday weekend.
See the MTA’s 7 Train Service Page. It’s tiny, but it says that service will be normal March 17-19.
And in completely unrelated news, this might be the grossest thing I’ve ever seen. Thanks to AMNY Tracker for this…

Now that’s entertainment
Ok so tonight’s “Live from the Subway” post is only a pseudo “live” post. I was inspired to post about this guy, but truly, only video would do it justice. So instead of writing about him while I was at 42nd Street, I decided to search YouTube for a video of him. It’s the kind of thing you just know will be on YouTube.
Anyway, I’ve seen this guy dozens of time, and…well…I thought it was time to give him a shout out. No, your eyes don’t deceive you. It really is that strange in person.
Welcome to my life
Funny enough, I had to watch this 2 or 3 times before I realized that these were puppets and not the freaks I see on the train every morning.
Slip n’ Slide
This is why you should take the subway on a snow or ice day. Who knows, you could end up having to get out and push the bus as Daver says!
Nothing Says Sexy Like a Free Subway Condom

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the NYC Subway condom has hit the streets.
The video here is really funny. Look around midway through for the old man with the cane that get’s handed the condom. He doesn’t know what to do with it so he hands it back!! hahah
In midtown today, you might have been offered one as you exited the subway. As you can see in the video above, people don’t really pay attention to what they are being offered. SUBWAYblogger knew right way what it was, and jumped all over it.
Interestingly, the city may have skirted the violation of the MTA’s circle logo trademarks. The MTA was upset that they were going to use the subway line logos (little colored circles) on the condom’s wrapper to make it look “city like.”
On the one SUBWAYblogger received this morning, there were subway looking circles that spell “NYC CONDOM.” However, the actual letters in the circles are not real subway lines. For example, the “C” in Condom is in a yellow circle, but the C subway line is actually blue. So maybe that’s how they got around that issue.
