"What actually happened was that my gf was sitting in the priority seat and i was in the seat next to her. The uncle shouting in the video already had a seat opposite us but wanted to sit on the priority seat.
"My gf would have gladly stood up and let the uncle have the seat if he had asked but instead of asking, he started taking pictures of my gf. When my gf asked if he was taking pictures of her, the uncle started screaming and shouting that yes he’s taking pictures of her bc she did not gave up her seat to him even though he’s a senior citizen.
"Why on earth would anyone give their seat on the train to someone that ALREADY has a seat. How were we supposed know the uncle wanted that seat? Not like he asked or anything.
"And at that time before the commotion, the train was relatively empty with seats throughout the train. When my gf explained that she would have given up her seat if he had asked, the uncle got even more agitated, screaming that he shouldn’t have to ask and he should have been automatically given the seat because he’s a senior citizen.
"At one point, he tried to hit my gf, and that’s when the young people in the video stopped him. It’s also why the young man told him that he would call the police if he continued being physical and shouting."
