2 men try to push young man off San Francisco light rail
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police said Friday both a young man held in a headlock and the man who tackled him acknowledged to officers they were involved in a fight caught on videos gone viral on social media.
Two adult men were caught on two videos apparently trying to push a young man out of a stopped light rail. The videos posted on Twitter late Thursday had been shared thousands of times by Friday.
Police spokesman Robert Rueca said officers were called to the Outer Sunset neighborhood Thursday night over an assault on a train. The young man gave officers a statement and declined to press charges.
Officers could not locate a third man seen shoving the young man, Rueca said.
