Street justice: Bystanders drag subway 'pervert' off train, hold him for cops [youtube]
Posted by Gold_12TH on Sun Jul 15 20:59:53 2012 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d It was the last stop for this subway creep. An alleged subway groper was cuffed yesterday after fellow straphangers dragged him off an L train in Brooklyn and held him for cops, police said. Victor Sigler, 30, of The Bronx, was arrested on a charge of forcible touching for allegedly grabbing a 35-year-old victim around the waist and feeling her buttocks as she got off a Queens-bound G train at the Lorimer Street subway stop at around 9:30 p.m., police said. Sigler then allegedly ran and tried to board a Manhattan-bound L train — with his victim in hot pursuit — but was dragged out of the car and held on the platform by a pair of good Samaritans, in an act of street justice captured on video and posted to YouTube today. As one of the straphanger heroes held Sigler on the platform, bystanders applauded as transit cops arrived and made the arrest. The woman was not harmed. The man who captured the dramatic video said he's seen bystanders break up fights or save fellow passengers from harassment before, but that yesterday's intervention reached a new level. "This is the first time I saw a stranger actually carry an alleged perpetrator off of a train and responsibly wait until the police arrived," the videographer told The Post in an email today. "It's inspiring to see a train car of strangers agree that it's not cool to let this kind of thing slide." ---http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/street_justice_good_samaritans_drag_yiWqFSGJgtJd16WHVM1DdI#ixzz20k4b2lZJ

Maybe that lowlife will see what it's like to be groped by other men bigger than him in jail.

Suppose it was the wrong guy or the women were lying because of some other dispute? In such an instance maybe they could be charged with a crime for assaulting and detaining an innocent person.

Things might have turned out differently for the good Samaritan.

It's chilling to think the crowd took this woman's word for it. Incidentally, this is why, when I'm standing on a crowded train, I hold the overhead railing with BOTH hands, so some emotionally disturbed woman doesn't accuse me of something crazy. Things like that DO happen. I once had a patient who was roughed up by a mob of angry onlookers for allegedly groping a woman. The kicker was, she was still on the scene when the cops arrived with us. The cop took one chef look at her, rolled his eyes, and told everyone ”Not again! She does this shot every week!” Turned out the woman was a certifiable macadamia. But an innocent man got the scare of his life! I never forgot that incident. That's when I adopted my ”hands in evidence” rule for crowded trains...

Imagine the prisoner who is brutalized by fellow prisoners but who, in reality, is possibly innocent.
