Holding up a train is serious business in Philly, and a man made that perfectly clear after kicking a woman. While the video is originally from 2022, it has resurfaced in Reddit‘s PublicFreakout subreddit. In it, we can see a woman trying to forcibly open a train’s doors, thus preventing it from leaving. In the blink of an eye, a man enters the frame to kick the woman away. While the outcome was violent, many seemed glad to finally see the train leave the station.
As you can see, the woman holding the train’s doors was being pushed by another couple of girls inside the train. With the efforts being futile, a man enters the scene. Initially, it just seems like he’s trying to kick the woman’s stuff away from the train. However, he quickly grabs both bars and launches one devastating kick to send the lady flying. As expected, there were many witty reactions to this incident.

Others noticed how the woman dropped everything she was carrying and quickly reminded them of certain video games. Some even remembered how old-school MMOs would have our characters drop loot after receiving a hit of this magnitude.
I can hear the sonic rings.

Lastly, there was a reference to the famous 2014 brawl in the NYC subway featuring the 8-ball jacket slap. People believe this man who kicked the woman in the Philly train deserves the same recognition.
Get that man a leather 8-ball jacket.

While the kick might’ve been a bit too much, you can hear other passengers thanking the kicker after “de-escalating” the situation. As someone who has used the train many times before, I know how annoying it can be to have something or someone stopping a train. However, kicking might be a bit of an overkill. Still, if there were no authorities around, someone was bound to take matters into their own hands. Or, in this case, legs.
