I was almost forced to step in....

This occured last night of the RER A train going towards Paris from Torcy. I got on the train and then at the next stop some people got on, shortly after this, it started. I was on the top level of the double decker train when I heard a loud commotion coming from the lower deck. It actually sounded like a guy was fighting someone. However the most disturbing thing was that the other voice was that of a girl! Now at this point of the ride the train was fairly empty but I was certain that there were some other people down there as well.

There was a rumble and then a girl started crying and another screaming..... I was in shock, i got up and was going to go down but then I heard another female voice. It seemed that she separated the 2 who were fighting. I was going to go down but this older guy looked at me and said "attend". I gave him a weird look but I waited nonetheless. I was wearing my Canada jacket, so he knew I was out of town. What shocked me is that NO ONE seemed to do anything!

I sat back down in my seat and listened attentively for any more screaming or fighting. There was alot more arguing and yelling that proceeded. As we reached other stops, more people got on but they were still arguing and one of the girls was crying.

I had enough and I got up, i opened my phone to pretend that I was talking on it and then looked down onto the bottom level, to see what was going on. To my surprise, there, I saw someone around my age and to my dismay, he was also black. As for the girls, they were stunningly beautiful, well dressed, the type of lady that would attract my attention... I was like damn, how in the world and girl like that let's a guy slap her around like that, and on a public train in front of everybody????

The guy and I locked eyes, and I swear I was ready to go if he would have said something to me but it was the girl, who was crying, who then I looked at.... she gave me a smile.. the kind of smile saying I'm ok, but go....

SO I sat back down, but that situation was really bothering me that situation. I knew I was alone but I also knew that the train was getting closer to Paris, so there would be police near by if anything happened. I can't understand how that could happen, and that no one seemed to want to get involved... I thank you ERIN for showing me that this kind of behaviour in unacceptable.
