A similar incident happened to me on the CTA years ago, only in my case the attacker had a pipe which I knocked out of his hands before I slammed his head several times into a platform girder.

No one lifted a finger to help me, no one lifted a finger to stop my attacker as he ran off, no one asked me if I was OK after getting clocked twice with a pipe.

And I am going to guess that the SEPTA demographics were the same as my CTA demographics: a black man assaulting a lone white man in a crowd of black people.

Can you figure out why no one helped?

Yikes!

I’m glad you’re okay. Wow!

Because people only care about themselves and could care less about anyone else. Next time you hold a door open for someone, see if they thank you.

Victim here appeared to be a young black man. There's a surveillance video clip at the link. Everybody cleared the area once the assailant started beating on the poor guy.
