Angry, drunk foreigner fights, terrifies and screams obscenities at passengers on Guangzhou metro

December 22nd, 2010 by | Posted in Life Style | 57 Comments »

Capture

This is sort of hilarious. In less than a day, this video has been viewed over half a million times. After metro security found a knife in this foreigner’s luggage and took it away from him, he angrily got onto the metro and began picking fights with fellow passengers. This video begins with him getting into a fight with a Chinese passenger. At the next stop, security blocks the cell phone camera and forces the Chinese passenger off the train and he remains. Then, somehow the crowd provokes him again. He screams, “You are a prostitute!” repeatedly at passengers and gets into a fight with quite a crowd. A young woman tries to reason with the foreigner in English to no avail and he slams her cell phone on the ground. Again, this provokes the crowd and another scuffle begins. Apparently, the foreigner had another rather large knife in his luggage still. The woman on the phone interview at the end wonders (justifiably), “Why would they let him on the train with a knife?”
