Video: Hong Kong's Version Of "Subway Spaghetti" Fight

Video: Hong Kong's Version Of "Subway Spaghetti" Fight

In the wake of some optimistic NY lawmakers' proposed bill to ban food on subways, we thought we'd share the video that's been sparking tensions between Hong Kong residents and mainland Chinese visitors. While it's not as knockdown and drag-out as the infamous NYC subway spaghetti fight, it does get pretty tense—because Hong Kong's subway system, the MTR, prohibits food on its rather immaculate trains—and one Hong Kong rider gets upset at a Chinese girl who spilled some dry noodles on the train floor. The girl's mother says, it's not a big deal... and then all hell breaks loose. more ›

Yes, People Got Into Fights About The New Air Jordans

Nike released the Air Jordan 11 Retro "Concord" at midnight, and the $180 sneakers caused a stir at shopping malls across the country, to the point where reports of violence spurred a hoax Tweet that one person was killed for the shoes. Over in the NYC-area, there was a stampede at the Burlington Center Mall in NJ and a scuffle at the Staten Island Mall with at least two people being taken into custody. more ›

Video: Security Guards Gone Wild At The U.N.

Video: Security Guards Gone Wild At The U.N.

The U.N. makes us think of lots of things (diplomats, platitudes, architecture), but physical altercations are not normally one of them. And yet now video has surfaced from last week's General Assembly showing an all-out, eh, scuffle inside the U.N. which seems to have started when Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was shoved by a United Nations security Guard. more ›

Video: Ryan Gosling Is Embarrassed About Breaking Up That Street Fight

Video: Ryan Gosling Is Embarrassed About Breaking Up That Street Fight

Overnight internet sensation Ryan Gosling has finally spoken out about that somewhat awkward scuffle he jumped into earlier this summer, right on the mean streets of Astor Place. The then unknown Gosling decided to break up a fight going down in the middle of an intersection, where a man had been stopped after stealing a painting. Gosling eventually paid the artist for the work, and the thief was sent on his way with the stolen item, learning absolutely nothing about the consequences of his actions. Because everything is, this was all caught on tape and later put into the YouTubes, making the young man famous (he's even since been cast in a movie called Drive which we hear is really good). Watch him blush below—this kid's got a future!: more ›

Gavin DeGraw Has Sobered Up, Is On The Mend, And Admits: "Honestly, I Don't Remember Much"

Video: Sloppy Subway Melee On The A Train, Riders Just Want To Go Home

Most of us catch Friday Night Fights on TV at the end of a long day in a dank, cool bar, or at the apartment of that friend who can't resist charging the Pay Per View to his Amex. But riders of the A train yesterday didn't have to leave their seat to satisfy their bloodlust, as full-on fisticuffs broke out at the Broadway Junction stop in East New York. Thanks to the miracles of technology, we have two angles from which to assess the action. more ›

Video: Woman Gets Punched During Brawl At Mets Game

Video: Woman Gets Punched During Brawl At Mets Game

Despite trading All-Star Carlos Beltran this week, the Mets have been playing some of their best ball of the season lately. In the midst of a five game winning streak that has put them four games above .500, the team defeated the Washington Nationals handily in D.C. last night. But while the action on the field was good, a big brawl broke out in the stands between drunken Nationals and Mets fans—and as you can see in the video (around the 13 second mark), a woman got elbowed in the face pretty hard. Watch below: more ›

Video: Father Of Slain HS Football Star Threw The First Punch

Video: Father Of Slain HS Football Star Threw The First Punch

Last week, hours after his graduation, Bronx high school football star Isayah Muller was fatally stabbed by a parking lot attendent who was in a dispute with Muller's father Andre over a missing bottle of $200 cologne. Afterwards, to the dismay of the Muller family, police arrested the elder Muller, and not the two attendants involved, saying that he was "the agressor" in the incident. Newly released surveillance footage certainly doesn't do much to bolster Andre Muller's case. more ›

Off-Duty Cop In Shooting At Brooklyn's Old Gallery Bar

Off-Duty Cop In Shooting At Brooklyn's Old Gallery Bar

Early this morning, a brawl led to gunfire at Kensington bar Old Gallery on McDonald Avenue—and apparently an off-duty cop was one of the people who fired. A witness told NY1, "I heard like three bullets. And in my mind I was like, that's firecrackers. Then I thought, no it's gunshots. Then I looked out the window, and I just see a bunch of people running from the bar, and I heard like maybe six more shots and there's a police car outside." One of the bar patrons summed it up neatly to the Daily News: "People got drunk and they start fighting. It goes outside and then [the shooting] happened so fast." more ›

62 Arrested On Jersey Shore, Jersey Shore Cast Not Included

After the fireworks show off the boardwalk in Seaside Heights a series of fights broke out that lead to 62 arrests! A total of 59 adults and three juveniles were apprehended after the melees...and (maybe) to the relief of MTV not one of those people were members of the cast or crew of Jersey Shore. more ›

Walking down the stairs to the subway platform there are lots of things that we are prepared to see. Spider-Man, that sad rat man, heck we even sort of expect to see something. But a full-on brawl in a subway car whose doors don't seem to want to open? Not on our list. Until now. more ›

Government Averts Shutdown With $38 Billion In Budget Cuts

Government Averts Shutdown With $38 Billion In Budget Cuts
    

With just over an hour before the midnight deadline, Republicans and Democrats agreed on $38 billion in federal budget cuts to avert a government shutdown. President Obama acknowledged the cuts would hurt, but they were needed, "We protected the investments we need to win the future, adding, "The government will be open for business. Both parties reached an agreement that will allow our small businesses to get the loans they need, our families to get the mortgages they applied for, and hundreds of thousands of Americans to show up at work and take home their paychecks on time." more ›

What Happened Outside The Delancey Last Night?

What Happened Outside The Delancey Last Night?

Around 3 a.m. we received word over the wire that there was a "large crowd" on 168 Delancey Street, AKA bar & nightclub The Delancey. However, the NYPD told us, "That's just typical of any night. It's not something we would be reporting on," so we'll have to rely on our "Twitnesses" for information. Here's what we're piecing together. more ›

Video: Teens Gone Wild at Wendy's

Video: Teens Gone Wild at Wendy's

Today's depressing reminder of our civilization's gurgling downward spiral comes to us via a YouTube video (where else?) of teenagers (of course) attacking a Wendy's employee who tried to break up a fight in Queens Village. Our narrator is a teenage girl—another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks she's 50 Cent—who yells, "Wendy's lady, move!" But the Wendy's lady does not move, and after someone throws some food at her, she's pummeled by at least two of the girls. more ›

Is Ted Williams Drinking Again? Daughter Says Yes

Is Ted Williams's daughter seeking revenge for him abandoning his family, a paycheck of her own, or has the man with the golden voice really fallen so far in just one week?

Video: 2011 Begins Appropriately on Staten Island Ferry

We may be hurtling toward an uncertain, unsustainable future in which the sky and everything in it is falling (currently: big frozen clumps of moisture, run!), but it's nice to know that some things never change. There's just something perversely comforting about this video of two guys fighting at 5:30 a.m. on New Year's Day on the Staten Island Ferry: No matter how dreadful things get, you can always count on a couple of macho dudes to roll around on the floor together after a night of partying—and for the NYPD to discourage the loser from filing a police report. The fisticuffs start around the one minute mark: more ›

Queens Sees First Murder of 2011

Queens Sees First Murder of 2011

Barely six hours into the new year and the city has what is most likely its first homicide of 2011. Dwayne Haughton, 29, was fatally shot outside a New Year's party in South Richmond Hill after breaking up a fight between two women. Haughton was there to pick up his girlfriend around 5:30 a.m. when he saw the fight break out. His girlfriend, whom he asked to stay in the car, said she heard gunshots soon after. She told the Daily News, "When I ran out of the car, he was just laying there on his back, just laying there not moving." more ›

Cory Booker Gets Attitude for Shoveling Local's Driveway

Cory Booker Gets Attitude for Shoveling Local's Driveway

You know what would be nice? If we had a Mayor who, instead of telling us to stop our complaining as he frolics down his completely plowed street, picked up a shovel and lent a hand? Maybe we should move to Newark, because that's just what Mayor Cory Booker has been doing. Armed with Twitter, he's been taking requests, and recently announced to Rookie2Veteran "I am here now to help" not an hour after he wrote for help. However, Rookie (T. Bonds) doesn't think that Booker did a great job, and now the war of words is on. more ›

Cab Drivers Get Into Fistfight Over Lucky Passenger

Cab Drivers Get Into Fistfight Over Lucky Passenger

Getting a cab in Brooklyn can sometimes be hard, but one lucky passenger got a taste of what it's like to be the belle of the ball, when two cab drivers got into a knock-down battle over who would pick up the fare. Carlos Lopez and Francisco Laureano got into a fist fight on the corner of Van Siclen Avenue and Atlantic Avenue in East New York last week. Lopez beat Laureano with a car antenna and bit his finger, while Laureano put Lopez in a chokehold and punched him in the face, knocking out a tooth.
