More information is coming out about a subway attack in New York AsAmNews first reported Wednesday.
Police arrested the woman who could be seen on video kicking and spitting at fellow passengers and calling one Asian woman a “ch*nk” and a Dominican man by the name of a 911 terrorist.
@Platoman posted pictures on Twitter of Anna Lushchinskaya being arrested by New York police. @Platoman says he held Lushchinskaya until police arrived.
Then she tried me so I had to detain her until the cops showed up ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/C3UybusAxa— PL∆T∆NO M∆N™ (@PlatanoMan) December 12, 2018
At one point, Luschchinskaya was held down by @platoman in a headlock while other passengers urged him to remain calm.
Yahoo reports that she has been charged with felony assault. Police say the incident began when Luschinskaya bumped into a 24-year old female victim. @Platoman has been called a good samaritan by police.
