Yesterday afternoon, video emerged of a fight aboard a Green Line train in the D.C. area prompted by an apparent exchange of slurs. The video shows several passengers engaged in a heated verbal exchange with a white male; the argument was reportedly triggered by the man directing a racial epithet at a female passenger.
"The man was pushing his way onto the train, telling the lady he was pushing to push the lady in front of her," says witness Sarah Fox. "Words were exchanged between the man and the lady he pushed. He called her a nigger and she called him a faggot."

Yesterday afternoon, Metro spokeswoman Caroline Lukas responded to inquiries about the fight:
