So last night i got off the Queens bound F train on Lex/63rd St with a friend of mine from work, and there was a crazy guy on there already yelling at people. My friend passed him but I missed my window and was stuck walking behind him. At one point he turned and just smacked my face. So I immediately became vocal and was like :
"hey! You just hit me. Excuse me, you realize that you just accosted me and I have witnesses who saw what you did. I’m going to give you a chance to apologize to me" (obviously he was crazy and I felt bad for him) .
But he didn’t and instead he just kept saying things like,
"see this hand. You think if this hand hit you it wouldn’t leave a mark? I don’t see no mark on your face! Stop threatening me! ..."

But I did have 2 witnesses and my friend was so smart and on top of it and got their names and contact info, because he tried to hit them on the train as well. And one of the girl says she sees him a lot at this station and he’s always like that.

So I went out on the street and followed him and called 911. At this point he started saying" stop following me, ok I’m sorry I’m sorry already. "
But he was really threatening verbally up to that point so I continued with the 911 call. But he went back inside the subway station (the MTA from the beginning wasn’t helpful AT ALL, I asked him to call the cops—who I soon found out were in a hut INSIDE on the subway platform, but he didn’t) and followed him into the subway station cuz my friend saw him on a certain platform on the monitors.

I ran to the cops by this point and they stopped the train and we searched it, but he caught the one before it-I’m certain of that.
So all I could do was just give them a description of the guy and that was that.

THEN my friend (and her husband, who we caught up with at the subway station in the middle of all this) and i continued to a small Vogue party.
We then grabbed a yummy bite at an upper east side French bistro. It was unseasonably warm yesterday, 50s, and there were just a couple of tables set up outside there. It was just us at one table and at the other table: Morley Safer from 60 Minutes!!!!! They sure don't make em like him anymore..

The highs and lows of a New York day.....

Jola, have you heard of Tourette's Syndrome? That could have been it. Crazy is often how people perceive them. Just a thought. I would have never called the cops on him. kisses gosia
