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.

An emotionally disturbed man wielding a screwdriver allegedly climbed through the window of a 5 train motorman's cab in the Bronx on Friday afternoon and ordered the motorman to drive the train or be killed. Motorman Darryl George, 36, tells the Daily News he heard sounds of a disturbance while the crowded train was in the 149th Street station and "opened my window to see what the situation was. He said someone with a gun was trying to kill him." When George turned to radio a supervisor, Richard Arrocho, 42, clambered through the window.

Children of New York City, it's important you learn to be patient, because sometimes Mommy has important errands to run and she needs you to SIT QUIETLY in your stroller and not cry as you roll out of the subway car during her fistfight.

Video: Subway Spaghetti Spat Sparks Slapping Scuffle!
There's a lot of obnoxious behavior we have to put up with in the subway: the fingernail clipping, the rats in the mouth, the masturbating. It can also be revolting when someone fills the subway car with the stench of their McDonald's or Chinese food. But of all the foods to make a stand over, is spaghetti really pungent enough to fight for/against? NYC the Blog found this video of a recent subway fight on YouTube. In the right corner, a young woman eating pasta. In the left corner, a disgusted passenger who asks aloud, "What kind of animals eat on the train like that?" Oh yes she didn't.
Swine Flu, Big Whoop, Wanna Fight About It?
It was only a matter of time before the Swine Flu hysteria escalated to the next level and what better place for it to heat up than New York City on the D train. The Business Insider's Lawrence Delevingne caught a glimpse and an earful of the first reported swine flu-induced subway altercation this morning while nearing the 42nd St Street- Bryant Park stop.
