NYC Subway Fistfight Erupts Over Woman Eating Spaghetti
A woman on a New York City subway train, enjoying some take-out spaghetti, was harassed by another passenger who thought it ill-mannered to dine in an underground train car. Someone began videoing mid-argument. It’s difficult to hear the video, but here is roughly what happened:

“What kind of animals eat on the train like that?” says the woman across the aisle.

The diner snaps back with an epithet, and the exchange quickly degenerates into a fistfight.

“Chill out!” shouts a man as he tries to pull apart the two combatants…

Some New York commuters called for a subway system ban on food, like the ones enforced in Washington, San Francisco and other cities. The Port Authority Trans-Hudson trains, which run between New York and New Jersey, already prohibit eating.
