Cowards fail to help subway victim

It happened shortly after midnight on a SEPTA subway train (in Philly). A thirty-something guy with a child with him flew into a monstrous rage and attacked an unidentified man with a double-claw hammer. The victim did not know the attacker. He did not even provoke him. He was actually dozing off in his seat when the attacker used his hammer on the victim's head and neck.

This lasted five long minutes.

There were indeed witnesses. At least 10 of them. What did they do?

NOTHING!

They did nothing when the attack moved from the train to the platform.

They did nothing when the hammer-wielding maniac tried to push his victim down onto the train tracks.

When the beating was finished, the victim staggered back on the train, bloodied, confused, and alone.

Even by that stage, there was still no one there to help him.

The victim managed to get to the local hospital nearby, and received several staples and sutures and was discharged.

The cowards actually outnumbered this attacker at least 10 to one. Instead, they all dashed off the train during the brutal attack. Not even one tried to use their mobile phone to call police.

Very sad.
