Cute story, but the subway is an inherently dangerous place and everyone should
use caution in potentially perilous situations.
I've ridden the subway all hours day and night, from the early 70's
and only having normal cautiousness (and a little luck) kept me
safe with only minor tales to tell.
Of course, that's no excuse to live in fear or trepidation of your
neighbors, but stories like this one could have easily had a
different outcome.
