I was on the train to school when this whole incident unravelled. The guy that strangled his wife is on the left and the other guy sticking up for wife is on the right (you cant see him). I turn the phone to landscape further in the video
Yes... typical Sydney train passengers... sitting there like a bunch of lemons doing sweet FA. Not one person used the security system to alert the guard or speak to the station staff. Useless.
GaryNumeroUno It's the bystander effect. You'll sit it in almost every confrontation. One person will eventually stand in (that man) then others will start to follow him and back him up
At least this young man was standing up for that poor woman whilst the others just look on and say nothing, shame on them for not helping that young man who deserves respect for standing up to an old bully. 😡
@@Bigsoot7393 Well at least she wouldn't end up dieing that day. Would you really want to see a woman strangled to death in front of you. You'll never get that image out your head.
tarksable hahahaha they really aren’t. They stink like piss and are dirty as fuck. I have to catch them every day to work and am really considering pay extra to drive just to avoid them lol
yep they get disgusting when it rains. They also dont clean them properly, they only do like a quick wipe over of the floor and pick up the rubbish left behind so everything is filthy. On the weekends, you will see piss running down the floors and what not as they dont have bathrooms and drunk people will just piss on the floor. Seen it countless times on a Saturday night. They are also always breaking down which causes hours and hours of delays but then they constantly raise the ticket prices and dont offer better trains. The whole system is a joke.
I saw some guy getting mugged by 4 young guys in Sydney several years ago, so I stepped in - told the guys to back off and leave him alone. I had my mate with me, so I thought that's probably enough to make them back off (2 of us + the guy they were trying to mug) - but my mate got scared and ran off! The 4 muggers then came up to me, and the dude I helped ran and left me also. I got the absolute shit kicked out of me, and my head repeatedly bashed by a piece of shit junky wielding a metal pipe. I later realised there were a several people just standing by doing nothing! Eventually one guy ran in and helped me up and I took off and called the cops. Spent the night in hospital, Lucky to be alive, seriously. The police were able to catch the guys who did it because apparently they were posting on Facebook bragging about how they beat the shit out of me. Geniuses. Apparently the guy who helped me was actually one of their friends... Talk about hanging out with the wrong crowd! Sydney is a beautiful city, but like many other cities, it's full of absolute fuckwits and cowards who let the fuckwits get away with anything. I still can't believe my mate bailed on me. That's what I got for trying to do the right thing. I'd do it again though.
Damn dude, can't believed they did that (them and your apparent friend). Good job stepping in though as that is what the world needs is people to help each other in time of need, if only I was there with you. But glad you're okay and again, Great job.
Not all hero's wear capes. I would do the same the help out. I hate the fact who we as a society are conditioned to watch and feel bad but don't act. what the fuck , don't live life with regrets!
People talking about Australia this, Sydney that. Mate, there are people like this everywhere and it has nothing to do with the nationality. Terrible people exist in every single place on this Earth.
Big Facts. I always see comments like these on these types of videos. People making sweeping generalizations of a particular country or city. This is a human issue, not a nationality issue.
Yeah, but Australia seems to have more of them. I lived there and the racism was off the scale. The obsession with "where were you born?" is pathetic. You're all fucking immigrants.
No shit. But he has probably threatened to find her and kill her, every day of their marriage. Did you hear all of that crap about knowing all those high ranking police officers? He has done this dominating ritual for so long, he cant switch it off even after she leaves the train. 'I know the cops... I know all of them... they will find you... you cannot hide from me!' It's a pretty straight forward way of trapping someone in a violent marriage.
My neighbour loves to play that card everytime he tries to start something he can't finish.. these old folks believe they can treat younger people however they want but still want respect in return. 😆
I would love to shake that young mans hand. He would have made my day too to listen to a strong young man stand up for a woman who he didn't know. Because it's the right thing to do. No woman deserves that. Whether they "ask for it" for not. No one "asks" for that. People really need a lesson in DV and that young man is my hero!
GregerN Your right I might have got him in a rear naked choke Either way would not sit there like a melt An do nothing Like most spineless so called MEN.... What would you do??
Australian accent is basically english sailors who drank too much (thats basically how the accent came to be).... which is why its so hard to understand drunk english people hahahha
Typical Sydney train. Everyone eavesdropping, but no-one helping (well, except for one). This is typical Sydney and typical Australia. No-one will help you if you need it.
We need officers in every carriage on every australia train. Its not fair on qny of the public to be forced to take justice into their own hands to stop violent and abusive passengers.
Mouthy self absorbed people on trains should be thrown off for making others feel awkward and uncomfortable. A quiet ride on a train is quite nice, then one of these inconsiderate assholes shows up. Not always an easy call to make though as many are surely not mentally well. I'd have to say that if someone's going become obnoxious and annoying to me while on Public Transport I may as well direct my energy into saying something to the offender as well. I'm more one who appreciates when someone challenges a mouthy person on Public Transport, better still when good people also join in collectively. Sometimes assholes need to be told - as their social skills, awareness & etiquette is often sadly lacking or even pathetic. More importantly, to the better people who do behave considerately in public and while travelling on Public Transport - thank you! It is appreciated. To the people who do say (or do) something to the assholes when they act up - an even bigger thank you.
As someone who has been abused and who now has severe non combative ptsd and significant other mental health issues my reaction to seeing this would have been to either fully confront him getting very verbally aggressive at him in order to try to protect her, which I know is not going to be a positive way to deal with the situation, or to avoid the situation altogether and have a panic or anxiety attack, both due to not being able to differentiate between my own experiences and those being played put before me
This could have been diffused so easily but every single person sticks their head in the ground and ignores it all.. Young bloke clearly was trying to help but lacked experience and wisdom WTF is wrong with all the adults on board.
He is a waste of fresh air. Disgrace to humanity! AND Good on the Guy defending Her,. The guy in the suit just laughs and gets off the train without saying a word,,,, such a brave Dude
"Happy valantines day " and now we know what he gave his wife for a present, but seriously why did no one step in, instead of just sitting and watching it, at least one guy tried to do something
Ahaha yeah us Aussies have accents that are hard to understand, and it’s sort of a thing when we’re in front of other people (the passengers) we seem to layer on our accents thicker. I have no idea why
Tamara Weber u hurt the ones u love most sadly... Because u no they stick by you. Sickness and health for better for worse.... Love is stronger then any drug.. And sorry is easy as water.... But forgiving takes a life time
Is this meant to highlight the behaviour of a couple of people with obvious addiction problems which allegedly include strangling his wife?? All it shows to me is a lot of weak people who didn't do jack shit (if his wife was truly just physically abused) to help but felt brave enough to film and then pick on some old guy.
Anthony Ellison with a guy whos obviously on drugs and showing violence I would not intervene. Let the police deal with it. It can lead to a very dangerous situation. A college student got shot here where I live because he tried to help a woman being attacked. He ended up passing away last December.
@@cynder2465 If there was a fear of physical reprisal in this situation then you wouldn't sit there mouthing off to the person. The kid off camera felt brave enough to do that which could have escalated the situation but not actually do anything to help.
Anthony Ellison Yeah he was being an idiot and making the situation worse. Just putting fuel in the fire. That druggie dude was getting a kick out of it, seems like he thinks this kind of confrontation is funny
Sad thing is it’s not just Sydney it’s everywhere in the world. There are crazy messed up people like this all around the world. The only difference is what place gets the most coverage in videos and have eyewitnesses who say something about it.
I've had an experience in the streets of Melbourne a guy was getting real rough with his (presumably) girlfriend, and my somewhat drunj friend just like gets in his face holding his backpack straps and is like "why you pushing her no need to push her" then some other guy comes up and starts confronting him as well which gives the lady enough time to get away the guy crosses the street one way and the lady goes the other, then we follow the lady to ask her how shes going and whether she was okay. Anyway the whole point is you need one person to stick up for someone and honestly so glad to be friends with a guy who would do that no question
I would have had him at the point of hands on throat, I'm a fifty year old female with a back and leg disability from being hit by a car head on, I gave assistance to a young woman that was being attacked by an abo guy in a driveway at night, the 6 foot police officer thought he knew me, wanted me to explain to him how I managed to render this man immobile and unconscious and did I use reasonable force, I showed him the blow by blow series of advents as they unfolded and told him I had been given a special set of skills by my father. My father served in the New Zealand Army and he taught me everything I needed to know, he was a sniper and a tunnel rat in the Korean and Vietnam war, the penny dropped when he asked if he could ring someone for me, I was the mother of a Police Officer that drops off baking to the offices. Stop being soft cocks and take care of business, stand for something fall for nothing!. Go Kiwis.
Alicia Mcgregor thats funny because i recall an aboriginal woman stabbing 8 children and the ABC media said in response was that we need to be talking about domestic violence in the context of white men hitting women. even though the aboriginal communities having much higher instances and the biggest killers of children are female, it wouldnt be PC to adress these facts lest aboriginals get demonized collectively, so we need to as a society collectively demonize white men.
Neil Mulcahy But we won the war, and changed this place to what it is, lets face it, aboriginals without whites means the aboriginals would still be eating rocks and sticks.
Did you see all those brave feminists on the train standing up for her! Wow! They really showed when the chips were down that they were the brave ones huh!
Thats what people are like. They dont give a fuck about helping or stepping in. But if you interview them they will say "sydney is very friendly and we stick up for one another".
The young bloke swearing and making idle threats of violence is just as deplorable as the older mans behaviour. Fighting fire with fire is a young mans game and one day that young man's mouth full of fire may get him burnt so bad even his mother won't be able to recognise him.
Maybe...but you don't even know this young man...and I don't know what problems (or if there is any) that married couple has, but if it comes to abusing someone, especially you're WIFE! Then it's a brave thing to do to be sticking up for someone who is abused and fight fire with fire....I mean if you saw a mother slap her 9 month old child for crying, what would you think?...assuming you don't hate children....
Hannah da banana I wouldn't fight fire with fire as suggested by the above if I saw a mother slap a 9 month old baby for crying,does that mean you would feel compelled to slap the mother ?...you don't fight fire with fire, you fight fire with water !!! The best thing that could have been done was to alert the authorities. He seemed harmless and an easy target although we do not see him attack his wife. No one else around the man seemed to feel threatened by him.....just seems like this was entertainment for people on the train.I was not there so I can only comment on what I saw on the video,that man clearly has mental issues .
Mark Henstridge yeah, you're right...I'm sorry about that :P i guess it just upset me a little that someone that old who you'd expect would be wise would do that to his wife, and yeah we didn't really see anything...although its really convincing. and I'd give props to people who stand up for other people, but yeah, i guess you'r right
This often always in my Tram lines in Melbourne. Only 1 guy steps up and others just keep recording on their phones or just use as a nice timepass until their stop arrives 💯💯👌🏼
