BENSONHURST, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A man has been arrested after reportedly punching a woman in the face over a 'manspreading' complaint on the subway in Manhattan.
Derek Smith, 56, was arrested and charged with assault on Saturday evening.
Samantha Saia said the ordeal started as soon as she took a seat next to the man on an N train in Bensonhurst during the morning commute.
"He started pushing me and manspreading me into the wall," Saia said.
That's when Saia said he turned violent.
"He told me expletive, you expletive, I've raped white b****** like you before. You're nothing and then he elbowed me," she said.
So she said she put her earbuds back in and then it turned even uglier.
"He said 'Don't ignore me. I felt this.' I turned around and bam, I banged my head into a wall. And at that point I just felt blood gushing."
Her lip was bruised, swollen and bloodied.
But it could have been worse if a Good Samaritan didn't step in, and that's when a passenger on the train started recording.
The Good Samaritan jumped in and confronted the subway attacker. He forced the man to exit the train at the next stop.
56 years old and still ain’t learned no manners.
Feral animals.
A quick DNA test may solve several crimes...
Well, it all worked out for the best across the board.

Subway rider: I asked 'manspreader' to stop, so he punched me in the face ^

I dunno. Maybe he should have told her to put some ice on it; it worked for Bill Clinton.
By the way, that officer on the left better start doing some serious physical exercise. Looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.
Sounds like a hate crime. Will he be charged with a hate crime?
More likely frustrated wannabe than rapist. But your suggestion should certainly be followed up.
He should be, that is if hate crime means anything more than get whitey.
Mmmm. Bitch complaining about manspreading. Feral animal getting arrested. Seems about right. Nothing to see here.
And about half of them blamed the victim.
N train, is that like the N word?
Glad to see the jerk was arrested.
On a different note, isn’t the term ‘manspreading’ sexist? After all, liberals are keen on there being more than two sexes. For example, can Bruce Jenner, er, ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner ‘manspread’ (especially if he has not been gelded? For him/her/it, would it be called ‘transspreading’?
Not that I really give a hornet’s hynnie about it, but it is something to ponder for a brief second, as one performs their morning ablutions.
hate crime!!?? You are of course kidding......we all know that charge works in only one direction.
She loves to say ,”manspreading”
We should send him to China. They know how to deal with thugs.
He ought to be forced to submit to DNA sampling, a few lineups and be investigated for his admissions of rape.
By the way, that officer on the left better start doing some serious physical exercise. Looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

exercise would be dangerous for someone that heavy... besides you don’t lose weight in the gym , you build muscle... you lose weight in the kitchen...
