Glad we collectively managed to work a racist off the train today. Tried breaking a bottle to attack us, but luckily we managed to de-escalate the situation. Right-wing ideology is a threat to society. Anti-immigration rhetoric emboldens the worst among us to do their worst.

Can you talk a little about how you de-escalated? I feel this is something I could do better.

What I'd like to highlight is: 1. We, as a group, shielded the targeted person from their assailant. Ensuring they would feel as safe as possible in that situation. 2. When the assailant signaled they were ready to stab people, we made sure they were removed from the train.

Nothing excessive. Just a focus on keeping people safe, together. One of our co-passengers pulled the train alarm. So at the end of it all, station personnel was ready to handle the assailant. We made sure they weren't allowed back on the train. Things happened fast. It's hard.
