A friend of mine was travelling on the train towards Sydney Friday afternoon and had to call the police as a man in the seat in front of her was threatening to king hit his 17 yo son! This was a fairly crowded train with school children on board and this guy was bragging about the speed of the punch, etc. She asked him to be quiet as "there were children on the train" but he ignored her. She was the only one who said anything and it was only afterwards that she thought her own life could have been at risk, as this guy was very aggressive, but there was no way she was letting it go un-noticed. The police did stop the train but a station too late as the father had already jumped off. I'm worried about the son now but have no way of knowing if he's OK.
That's awful. Really makes you think about the shit lives some people have. Kudos to your friend for at least trying to do something.
Yeah, I'm pretty proud of her.
