however, it is a public place. march, 2012. the number six train is headed uptown with a man and woman battling it out in a closed subway car. if you were there, what would you do? move away from the explosive melee? wait till the next stop and call a cop? or try to intervene possibly at great personal risk? i was just like, whoa, this is crazy. i quickly reached for my phone and started videotaping. well, without that response we wouldn t have our story, but then a new subway super hero 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. but snack man himself has no idea until he gets a heads up from his mom. i had completely forgotten any of this ever happened, and

great personal risk? i was just like, whoa, this is crazy. i quickly reached for my phone and started videotaping. well, without that response we wouldn t have our story, but then a new subway super hero 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.
