A naked man attacked two passengers on an early morning train in Washington, D.C., according to Fox 5. The man, 24-year-old Deon Tyrel Toye, reportedly assaulted two riders of the Red Line train.
Toye reportedly entered the station with clothes on but took them off at some point. He was taken into custody inside the Dupont Circle metro station.

The man who recorded the footage shared his perspective on the incident.
"I go to the back window, start recording, and he walks up to a guy and assaults him, starts punching him in the face," Phillip Banks told Fox 5. "Then he jumps on the guy again, when the train stops the guy jumps off, the naked guy grabs his bag and everything."
Another witness stated Toye exited the train at DuPont and did "naked calisthenics." The passengers reportedly rallied together to keep him from getting back on the train.

"Then he attempts to get back on the train we're on, but me and another guy wouldn't allow him to get back on the train because there were a bunch of elderly women on the train, so we weren't having that,” Banks said.
The injuries the victims suffered are not believed to be serious. WUSA-TV reports police believe Toye may have been under the influence of a drug.
