http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073660/Big-Man-Alan-Pollock-YouTube-video-Sam-Main-says-HES-victim-hes-thrown-train.html

TL;DR: A kid on a train and doesn't have a pass, the conductor says that he doesn't have a pass and they argue - apparently the kid only bought a "single" (which I assume is a one-way pass?) and the conductor refuses to go without the kid paying or getting off. Eventually one of the other guys on the train takes matters into his own hand and throws the kid off the train.

so the question here: assault or hero?
i say hero - the kid was clearly in the wrong. but the media is warping it to seem more of an assault case :S

Hero.
The kid shouldn't have went on the train, knowing that he didn't have a ticket.

The media usually warp these stories to make the kid always sound like the victim.

Kid was being a prick and got his just deserts.
I'd say this "Big Man" did the right thing.
