We as New Yorkers have the ability to ignore a lot of things. We’ve turned the other way as people have wrestled chickens and had sex on the subway. But how, how, how in the world can you turn the other cheek as a dude starts masturbating on the subway?
In the video below a man on the N train starts tying a string around his penis and masturbating. The general reaction to the man seems to be either extreme amusement or indifference. Oh sure, people try to ignore him (you’ll notice he has an entire seat section to himself), but no one tells him to quit it.
I get it, you don’t want to get involved. He could be crazy. He could have leprosy or herpes and he probably didn’t wash his hands. But what does it take to actually get some outrage from the public? Did the dude have to ejaculate onto someone? (He didn’t; the police arrested him at the end).
Anyway, what would you do if someone started masturbating in front of you on the subway?
