BURIED LEDE: Female policeman too scared to handcuff violent offender, so a man does it for her. [archive]
But just about when things looked like they would get dangerous, a different passenger was seen stepping into the camera frame behind the shirtless man — and what he did next got the clip going viral.
Adrian Kaczmarek — a fitness trainer — placed the 25-year-old troublemaker in what KNBC-TV [archive] identified as a “rear-naked chokehold.” . . .
Once a transit officer arrived, Kaczmarek told KNBC the female officer was concerned about putting cuffs on the troublemaker because he was struggling violently under the bodybuilder’s foot. So he said he held the officer’s handcuffs, rolled the assailant and cuffed him for her.
