Wild footage was captured of two men fighting on a New York City subway escalator last week; the two commuters continued to throw punches as they tumbled all the way to the bottom.
The incident occurred on Thursday at about 11 a.m., when “a 37-year-old male punched a male victim in the face after a verbal dispute,” the NYPD told Fox News Digital on Monday.
Watch the video above.
From Fox News:
The video posted to social media with the caption, “on my lunch break commute through Grand Central,” opens with onlookers staring at the steps of an escalator before two people tussling on the escalator come into view.
People are seen moving away from the dueling pair in the roughly 30-second video. The two are then seen tumbling down the steps in a flurry of flailing arms and legs.
The NYPD said the 37-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with assault.
The man who recorded the video, who spoke to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity, said it appeared the altercation broke out after one of the men standing on the left side of the escalator “refused to get out of the way” of the other man.
