comes to the rescue, snack man. >> he just seemed real cool. just walked right in there. kind of didn't say nothing to anybody. just walked right in, smooth, eating his chips. >> i was eating chips at the time, and they were in my hand. everything happened so fast. i just got in the middle of them and kept eating. i wasn't nervous. >> his real name is charles saunder, and his simple effortless move separates the combatants and creates space for another passenger to move in and referee. >> please get off. >> she's standing in the guy's face pretty much until he got off the train at the next stop. she also diffused the situation. she wasn't eating no snacks, though. >> he takes his video home and uploads it to the web, and the legend of snack man is born. >> i posted the video on youtube probably like a few days after the incident. it was on there for about a week and it wasn't getting any attention. it was about 400 views. the next day i wake up, and it was just completely blown up. it just spread.
