You guys are criminalizing it. >> problems, right. >> This is kind of getting out of control. >> Okay. >> These people are getting away with all this kind of stuff thinking that they can do whatever they want and assault whoever they want and try to jump somebody in broad daylight. That's why I'm upset. >> I see you pulled out your ID for me. Can I see that, please? Thank >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Were you hurt or assaulted today or is it just a threat? >> up on me. He said I'm going to use his hand and he was like he's going to hurt me. >> Okay. >> He had to somebody had to step in the way. There's cameras all through this place. They saw the conversation.

That's an automatic >> It was that gentleman right there that they're talking to? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> You want to get your sergeant down here so then he can decide if he wants to decide if he wants to press charges on this guy. >> Oh, so we don't decide that. The sergeant has to decide that and I'm I'm a corporal so I would be a supervisor. >> Yeah, I want to >> don't decide that. We just >> I'm definitely going to press charges on you. >> Okay. Well, in order to do that you're going to have to provide a statement >> that. I will gladly do that. I will gladly put a statement out. >> Okay. >> How's it going? >> What's up, man? What's going on with with this guy? What's happening with him? What? Call this out here said there was a disagreement between you and him. You didn't put your hands on him? All right. Was it going to get there? Was it going to get physical between you and him? You what? You didn't? All right. Now, what was going on? >> I'm not trying to take stuff. People say stuff to me that makes me mad. What did you do? I'm just trying to figure out where you're coming from. The last time I was out here, um something similar happened where we had a guy >> I'm going to have to ask really specific questions. So sorry. What did he say to you exactly? >> He started using threatening to hurt me. He used his fist and he was going to punch his So he told me he was going to hurt >> Okay. Is that like exactly We are we're trying to develop what happened here. What did he say? >> So, I was So let me walk you through it. >> I have to do a quick I have to ask quick questions. >> Okay. So, he didn't hurt me. That's what he used his fist. You know, obviously going to hurt me. >> fist or did he say it? >> He said that. >> Did he make any gestures? >> Yes, he did. He went right So, the security guy was right next to me. I was talking to him. And he said I'm going to punch this guy and he I'm going to hurt him. So, I was like, "Wait, you're going to try you're going to jump me for for what reason? You going to jump me? Cuz of my >> I was just saying, you know, I didn't really say anything to this guy. I was talking to the security guy. Said everything okay? He said the next thing I know >> Did he make any physical advances toward you >> Yeah, like this. >> How did it make you feel? >> Threatened. >> Did you think he was going to assault you? >> Yes. I put my life in danger, yes. >> Just trying to see what happened. >> Okay. >> All right. You don't have to talk to us, but I'm going to tell you what we heard from the other people involved. I'm walking a little closer so I don't have to yell. I hate yelling at people. I'm not trying to lay hands on you. Okay. >> Okay. >> Uh the transit guys said it looked like you were about to commit an assault. And if they didn't get in between you and the other guy who called us, then you probably would have laid him out on the ground. Okay. So we're asking like what did he do to piss you off that much? That's that's why I'm asking those questions. Huh? Okay. Well, I'm glad they did get in between you because I don't want to see anybody have to go to jail. I'm not sure the conversation going on over there. They may ask you to leave transit property and not come back. >> I know right? I mean some of the transit employees here just sat there and told me they saw the whole situation escalate and what how how it went down. They don't believe that I was in the wrong. So I mean that I don't believe that is what happened. >> That's not what they told us. We got cameras so I can't I mean I can I can tell you whatever I want to tell you, but the camera's going to prove me right. >> You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. Right up to the individual with your camera. He can reiterate what I just said to him and what he said to me. So either way it's like I'm not fixing my mouth to tell any lies. >> Well, you don't have to tell me I asked you, but you you don't have to talk about it. But I did ask you. If you didn't want to tell me. So all I got to go off is what the transit guys told me and what the guy who called told me. And you're within your rights to not give your side, but if you don't, then I don't know where you're coming from and I I can't try to balance that out and figure out who's actually in the wrong. I'm I'm glad nobody touched each other. That'll make it more difficult. >> The security is here, yes. They were here during all this? >> Yeah, what did they say? They said they intervened. They said this guy was kind of in a position of posture that he was going to fight and they fully believed that if they had not intervened, he would have assaulted the other guy. >> Yeah, and he said he felt fear. He said he was threatened. Said at this point he feels he was harassed against this guy. >> Okay. >> He's not identifying himself? >> He's not identifying. Just refusing to kind of give us the full story as to what's happening. Doesn't really want to talk, but Nick's doing his best to kind of talk to him. We haven't told him he's detained yet. We haven't really done anything other than just try to ask what's going on. >> Okay. Cool. Well, I mean if he doesn't want to give us his name >> Oh. >> He's obstructing us from doing our job. Yeah. Maybe unless you guys have said, "Hey dude, like you're not free to leave." >> Nope, we haven't done that yet. So, I just made sure I put lock on the north side just in case. >> Cool. Security saw said that he was going to assault him. This dude's I mean obviously he's got a lot going on, but >> Yeah. >> Okay. Cool. >> So, what do you want to do?
