He just hit me so hard,” Mahrer said. “He idiot hit me. No warning.” The altercation spread to the platform as the man continued to beat Mahrer, he alleges in a negligence lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the Transit Authority and the Metropolitan Transit Authority. “I felt dizzy, I remember looking to the side and a [straphanger] pulled out her camera phone and I yelled, ‘Will so...
