This kid would be going to jail if he did this in NYC.

After helping police make the arrest, Pitzulo said he wants men to start standing up for people again.

“There’s a lot of talk nowadays of toxic masculinity, and I’m really trying to, you know, push this narrative that you should stand up for the people, innocent people, people in your local neighborhood,” he said during an interview.

The Subway customer, Daniel Saunders, was charged with battery injury, battery resulting in bodily injury and disorderly conduct.
