— Take your hand off that woman! Immediately!
The man turned to her and laughed contemptuously.
— And if I don’t want to, Grandma? What are you going to do to me?
The old lady sat up, looked at him without fear, and reached for the communication device near the door.
— I’m going to do exactly what should have been done from the beginning.
The old woman pressed the call button near the carriage door, while the man continued to hold me by the sleeve. She had her cane leaning against her leg and such a determined expression that, for a second, I forgot how fast my heart was beating.
“Hello! A man is assaulting a woman on the subway. He won’t let her get off and is holding her by force. Please send help!”
The guy burst out laughing.
“Listen to her! An assault! Didn’t I tell you they were crazy? I didn’t even do anything to her!”
