Hero: Watch This Woman Yell at a Subway Masturbator Until He Gets off the Train

If you've lived in New York City for at least a year, chances are you've looked across from where you were sitting in a subway car to see someone rubbing their privates.

But its prevalence doesn't make the moment any less nerve-racking. What do you do when you see a public masturbator? Embarrass the person? Perform a citizen's arrest? Get off the train? Continue reading and let them have their fun? Do a musical flashmob about how demoralizing it is to witness a stranger publicly jerk off?

Well, this woman did what we all wish we could do, and what should be done, every time a person touches themselves in a public train. She spotted a man on the uptown 2 trying to slyly masturbate, and she immediately started publicly shaming him and filming the incident.

"What the fuck are you doing? Get the fuck up off this train. You wanna do that freaky shit you do that shit off the motherfucking train," she says. "Do it again and I'm gettin' up off this chair and I'm gonna bust your fuckin' ass off this fuckin' train."

Pretty soon everybody in the train is staring straight at the public masturbator, and the man looks like a deer in headlights.

"Sittin' here rubbin' on your penis, are you serious?" she yells. "Get the fuck off before I beat the shit out of you!"

And he does. The man gets off the train at the Times Square stop.

A slow clap for her probably began just as the video cut off.

Who knows what would happen if every public penis rubber had a public embarrassment as loud as that one. Maybe we would all ride the subway in peace forever. For now, let's just take this moment to toast to the hero who gave the public masturbator the train ride he deserved.
