OAKLAND (CBS SF) A BART rider was placed under arrest Monday after the suspect was accused of pulling out two chainsaws while on a train in the East Bay, authorities confirmed.
A BART commuter shot video that was posted on Twitter Monday afternoon that showed the man waving around a chainsaw on a train. The person posting the clip said it happened on a train traveling from Fremont to Richmond.
BART officials admitted to KPIX 5 that they had never seen anything quite like it on the transit system.
Jalina Bluford, the woman who took cell phone video of the man in action, knew something was wrong.
I thought it was something serious. Thats why I started recording, said Bluford.
In the clip, the suspect later identified as 47-year-old Patrick Bingham, picked up a red chainsaw and flicked the switch on it several times as he waved it in front of himself, yelling threatening comments.

If the Fresno area ever got a rapid transit system, what would they name it?

I see what you did there!
So you can’t carry a Glock in Califrornia SSR thus you carry a Stihl. Have they banned that too?
In time for Halloween. Not all the scary types you see around California around Halloween are real. Some are costumed super weirdos.
Like replica guns can still get holdup guys in trouble so can replica chainsaws on rapid transit. Little known statute.
there uesd to be buses in Fairfield, California running into San Fransicko
you could look in your rear view mirror and if one of those buses was behind you, it had its initials painted backwards so you could read them ...

(Fairfield Area Rapid Transit)
I’m sure the CA Legislature is drafting a Bill as I write this to outlaw Chainsaw Open Carry.
Part of that Bill will also require ID to purchase Oil for the Blade if it is in a container that holds over ten ounces.
Blade Length may also be restricted to ten Inches in CA and seven Inches in New York.
“Transient”? Several outstanding warrants. $88k bail? kinda low.
looks like they’re going to throw this spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks;
11350(A) - Possession of Narcotic Controlled Substance
417(A)(1) - Exhibit Deadly Weapon Other Than Firearm
422 - Threats Of Violence
466 - Possession Of Burglar’s Tools
485 - Grand Theft Of Lost Property
496(A) - Receiving Or Concealing Stolen Property
459.5 - Shoplifting
490.2(A) - Grand theft less than $950 shall be considered petty theft punished as a misdemeanor.
Ban chainsaws.
“Brand new gas engine chainsaws out of the box.”
I couldn’t tell from the video, but I’ll take your word for it. They do make battery powered ones, I found out.
And even a non-running chainsaw has sharp teeth, though you might have to hold still while he sawed your arm off. :)
“The names Ash, housewares. Shop Smart, Shop S-mart!”
Think if it was a boomstick instead of a chainsaw.
This, this, very much this.
Which reminds me, its time for a Fall test start of the generator, pressure washer, and chain saw.
“Good, bad, I’m the one with the gun.”
My kind of town!!! What excitement ! LIB LUNATIC GONE WILD ! !!!
Note to self:
Never take a knife to a chainsaw fight
I bet Kalifornia now passes a law that a chainsaw can only have up to 26 teeth and hold enough fuel to run for 11 seconds....
