A New York subway passenger is in critical condition after being shot in the head at the end of a brutal brawl that also saw him stabbed… and the whole thing was recorded by an onlooker.
This happened Thursday in Brooklyn, where police say two men got into an argument while they were both on a subway train. Their confrontation alarmed nearby commuters, some of whom began recording videos when it became physical.
Police say they were told the man who was shot had actually turned things on – and that appears to be confirmed by the video – while arguing with the other man.
As the two men punched and wrestled, a woman joins the fray and apparently stabs one of them in the back – it appears she was with the other combatant. l
The stabbing victim, who was visibly bleeding, began screaming and asking if she had stabbed him…and then rummaged in his jacket pocket for a gun.
The man he originally fought ran over him and tried to protect his wife… while the armed man cornered them.
At that moment, everyone in the subway started running in the opposite direction… desperately trying to get out because they had seen the gun. It was a tense and terrifying scene… and as they cowered, four gunshots rang out.
Someone captured the aftermath of this – where you can see police on the scene tending to the man who was shot…and as you can see it's the man who originally pulled the gun.
The other man was eventually handcuffed and led away, but it is unclear whether he has been charged yet.

New York officials say it appears the man who was being held wrestled the gun away and shot the other man — no word on whether this will be self-defense. The man who was shot was eventually taken away by paramedics and he remains in critical condition in hospital.
