On the DC metro, an employee started calling out to me in the train. I ignored him. He became more aggressive. I pulled out my cell phone to make a video, being as discrete as possible. He said: “you taking a video?” and started threatening to hit the phone out of my hand if I didn’t stop. I reported this to the station manager, who couldn’t find any metro transit police, so he told me to call a number. Then another number. Then that guy said his manager would come take a report in person. He didn’t. So the guy said to send the video. I sent it. He told me the harasser was a train supervisor. Then he told me to call another number (during business hours– it was now 8pm). I never did, because I never had time during business hours and because I was shocked that the worst that would happen to this supervisor, is that he’d spend a day learning about customer relations, possibly a day of suspension. And nothing else. Nothing. I was expecting he’d be fired. This 6-foot-something guy was threatening to hit me !! Only reason he didn’t, was that his buddy was standing next to him, and because I was making a video.
