Children Attack Man In D.C. Metro While Bystanders Watch (VIDEO)

A group of children attacked a man in the D.C. Metro, and no one did a thing to intervene. But the video is on the web.

On Sunday night, Allen Haywood found himself confronted and attacked by two kids in the L'Enfant ("the child" in French) Plaza Metro station in Washington D.C., according to TBD. Transferring to the Yellow line at a little after 7 p.m., Haywood found himself being assailed by a boy of about 11 or 12 years old. Then, a girl began attacking him.

"Stop it! Stop it! Goddamn it! You stop this [expletive] right now! I did nothing to you!" he exclaimed.

As the violence continued, no one stepped in to help. Instead, Haywood saw others with cell phones recording the attack.

"I can understand people not wanting to get physically involved," Haywood, 47, told TBD. "But nobody pressed the emergency button or went to the booth."

The video below was posted by an anonymous account, which doesn't seem to be affiliated with the attackers, on Tuesday.

White/Black/Red/Brown/Man/Woman It really would not matter at this point. Little pricks like this need a good beat down with their own medicine. Let them sit there and bleed a while as they think how it feels. If they get up then knock them the f$ck out.

This kind of stuff occurs on a regular basis in the public schools. White kids are often the target of attacks, often completely unprovoked, particularly in schools where whites are not the majority. Many social scientists and other "activists" blast whites for things like "white flight," and opposition to inter-community school busing programs. Whites are mocked for their "foolish stereotypes" which are "obviously" not based on facts. The reality is that these acts and opinions are often justified.

People can go back forth on race issues but if you've ever ridden the metro here- the bottom line is kids need their *sses beat- red line, green line, blue line, yellow line- and it's kids/teens of all races acting a d@mn fool from cursing to play fighting on the Metro. How about some of you parents out there quit trying to be a friend and be the authorative figure you need to be instead going back on and forth about what race did what to which race. You're all as bad as the children in this sad news story.

because race only seems to matter if its black. go to any story of a white person committing the most heinous atrocity & you wont find one mention of race, then go to a story about an nba player committing a hard foul & half the comments are about it.

whine, hypocritically whine.

Every time a white person does something to a black , the comment sections on this website have posters like you generalizing that action to all whites.

And this video is pat of a recent theme of black "children" violent attacking people on buses and subways. It is aproblem and putting your jhead in the sand does not change that.

If you actually care abour racism the fact that blacks are far more likely to commit a violent crime against a whtie person than vice-versa even though whites outnumber blaks 5 to 1. That disoarity will cause social problems and distrust and you blindly siding with the attackers depsite all evidence is telling of your bias.

I bet those other videos that even have women being attacked you blames the poor women simply because she was white. She could have been gang raped and you still blame her.

Your hatred along with he hatmonger mod GravX(who mocked and insulted the victim, but hate still got deleted and removed :) ) is quite telling. Your comments show how desirous you are of someone white being attacked(you even posted that some needed to be)

You need to look in the mirror before you accuse anyone of any bias or prejudice. You side with attackers and mock victim simply because of their race. And selectively ignore how more common it is for a whtie person to be attacked by black children in public transit situation than vice-versa.

Go to any story about a group of white kids attacking a black man… and you'll have nation-wide hysteria.

The truth is that black-on-white racism happens. A lot. And you're either not smart enough to see it, or mature enough to admit it.

First off honestly I wouldn't intervene, nor would I stand and watch, I would turn around walk the other way and call the police.

Does anybody know why that BLIND WOMAN was beat up by these huge men? What kind of pu*ks are they?

According to the hate mod GravX and Nat(blame whitey victim without evidnece) she had it coming and likely caused the situation herself. It always the victims fault if the attackers are a particular shade.

People are becoming less human. It's cool to hurt people, we see it on tv, so why not do it everywhere you go? This is so wrong.

You might hate me saying this, but I probably would not have intervened in this situation.

If a grown man like myself grabs a child, especially a young or teen girl; I would probably be thrown in prison and charged as a sex offender. Even if I was trying to break up a fight.

I would have documented the incident on video, and I would have called the police. But that's all.

@deaconjoey: That is cowardly. And no, you would NOT be accused of a sex offense. The guy was being senselessly beaten by a crowd of thugs. Why not man up, declare yourself ready to rumble, and come to the aid of your fellow man? Self-defense applies to those who aid another as well as the initial victim. Sorry, but I'm not about to turn in my man card because an attacker might be female. And I can speak from experience; I was savagely beaten by a gang like that (of about 20) when I was young. So, I will not turn in my man card by saying I won't get involved, and if someone dishes it out to me, or to you if you are near me, I will step in with fists and feet flying. I won't be accused of cowardice nor of callousness. And I work in public safety. If a suspect is apprehended by force by bystanders, believe me, the police won't listen to a thing the suspect has to say. They are happy to get another thug off the streets! Have a nice day...

uh.. there was no "crowd of thugs" - it was 2 girls, including a pre-teen, according to the article. his portrayal as an innocent victim is, so far, only his side of the story. i tend to give the benefit of the doubt to children..

See the new movie about Phil Ochs. His song, " Outside of a small circle of friends" was about this very thing. How short our memories are!
