Man is Punching People on Houston Metro Rail Platform

Houston METRO police need your help apprehending a man who is punching people on a rail platform.

According to surveillance video, a man walked up to a passenger who had just exited a train onto the platform at Main Street near Preston downtown and punched him in the face.

The video then shows the same man punching another man as he gets onto the train from the same platform.

METRO Police Chief Victor Rodriguez says he doesn’t think the attacks are related to the so-called “knockout game.”

“A review of the tape does not indicate that anybody else is involved,” Rodriguez said. “And, therefore, in the knockout game, you typically do that in front of an audience or in front of somebody who’s at least taping it.”

Despite these events, Rodriguez says Houston has one of the safest rail systems in the country.

If you know anything about these assaults, contact police.

Michelle Obama: Too Many Americans 'Stopped On The Street,' Because Of Their Race.

What about knocked to the street because of their race is not your race, Ms Obama?

The very existence of a campaign of hate using a “knockout game” whether coordinated or just for bragging rights, should trigger a series of federal civil rights violation investigations (including the police departments that are suppressing reports of the incident and refusing to prosecute the guilty).
