Delta Employees Attacked On MARTA Train

ATLANTA -- Two Delta Airlines employees were attacked on a MARTA train

MARTA police said they were investigating the incident. A witness said he watched the violent attack unfold Sunday.

"We were intimidated. Everyone was terrified. People were trying to run, but there was nowhere to run," the man, who requested anonymity, told Channel 2's Erica Byfield.

Around midnight, a MARTA train pulled up to the Garnett Station in Downtown Atlanta, authorities said. The witness said up to 30 people boarded the southbound train.

"Once the doors opened, it was like a bum rush of people," he told Byfield. "The next thing you know, they started just beating him. There was blood everywhere. People were hollering and screaming," he said.

A MARTA police report identified two victims as Delta Airlines employees. The report said one victim had a soda can smashed in his face and his wallet stolen, while the other was punched repeatedly in his face.

The witness said the attackers were teens chanting "B. F. P. L."

"I don't know if that's a gang," the witness said.

By the time the train made it to West End stop, some riders were desperate to get off, but the car doors would not open, the witness said.

"So basically we were just trapped," he said.

MARTA wasn't safe for white people 20 years ago.

i wonder if they picked the Delta people because they wouldn't have a gun on them.

I was a attacked by a gang with knives aboard the Boston subway (my fiance and 12 year old sister were attacked as well).

People ran, and so did the MBTA workers. No one helped us.

Almost had a run-in on a train in Philly a few weeks ago with these ‘types’.

Not really, but I’m definitely going to ride with my wife or mother if they have to use MARTA.

This wasn’t a “gang,” unless you mean a gang of normal black Atlanta teenagers.

BFPL apparently is a nationwide network of rap/hip-hop “musicians”.

That quote bothered me too. Why should anyone have to experience the beat down?

Thankfully, no. Based on the Wikipedia article, that would make a horror film.
