UPDATE to this morning’s “Absolutely Disgusting Behavior on Red Line This Morning”.

From WMATA (via email):

“MTPD is actively investigating, including reviewing video from aboard the railcar.

Below is the narrative from the police incident report:

On 11/26/2018 at approximately 0750 hour V-001, a blind male with a service dog, reports boarding a red line train in the direction of Shady Grove at the Rhode Island Avenue metro station located at 919 Rhode Island Ave NE Washington, DC when he inadvertently bumped into a passenger as he boarded the train. As the train left the Rhode Island Ave station S-01 pushed V-001 and began to verbally threaten him. W-1 intervened and attempted to defuse the altercation when S-01 and S-02 began to shout obscenities at her. W-1 further reports that as she attempted to call the police S-01 and S-02 attempted to grab her phone, however she was able to hold on to her phone, call the police and later video record the altercation that had developed between S-01, S-02 and an unknown/unidentified passenger as the train continued to service the subsequent two (2) stations. W-1 reports the altercation ended when the train serviced Union Station and S-01 and S-02 got off the train making good their escape. V-01 reports having no injuries and no medical attention was required. DVR requested.

Suspect 1 is described as:
B/M, band-aid under his right eye, dark blue jeans w/ dark blue, blue and white underwear showing, and a black hooded sweat shirt

Suspect 2 is described as:
B/M 18-20 yoa, black knit cap, blue stone washed jeans”
