Police are looking for two irate New York City subway riders who punched a conductor in the face after he announced a train was going express.
It happened shortly after 4:30 a.m. Saturday at the Grant Avenue station in Brooklyn.
The transit workers’ union, TWU Local 100, says the conductor announced that his A train would be making express stops, and then a man approached the conductor’s booth window and started yelling at him and throwing punches.
Bystander video released by the New York Police Department shows a man reaching through the window, then the conductor trying to push him away. As they grapple, a woman starts hurling punches through the window.
Police say the 62-year-old conductor was treated for cuts and bruises to his face. The attackers fled.

Both Transit & Union officials have failed to address the underlying cause & issue at steak:- It is the diabolical unreliability of Mass Transit, and then after awaiting such a long time for a train, being told that it is now going express to make up for loss time, so while MTA is helping themselves in so doing this, they are ignoring the needs of their customers.
