Sometimes, tolerating big-city transit requires imagining your happy place or staring a hole through your iPhone. That’s why we love this story about New York City subway Good Samaritans who jumped into action and dragged a passenger from the train after a woman accused him of groping her. Does the Muni humper ring a bell?
The video of the whole takedown is above, including the accused perp getting arrested.
We know, we know, innocent until proven guilty. But don’t you just love the idea of a little subway justice?

We would too, but citizens arrests are illegal in california and you would be hit with felony assault charges if you tried.

Hey RLM, I’m no lawyer, but I was curious about your assertion, so I asked one. He pointed me to Cal. Pen. Code Sec. 837, which states (among other things):
He also directed me to this:
Are my friend and I missing something? Citizens arrests seem perfectly legal in California as long as it’s a felony (which I”m pretty sure groping is considered) and the person making the arrest witnessed the crime (which they did in this case).
