I had to work early this morning because of fresh snow downfall at 6am, so started heading to work at about 5:30 this morning. As I'm walking, I hear some yelling, some drunk yelling. I look down the road, and there is a cab. Cabbie is sitting in the car, passenger in the back, and I could hear this guy yelling, I couldn't understand what he was saying, but all of a sudden, I see this guy wrap his hands around the neck of the cab driver. I can now see the car moving from side to side, they were fighting inside the cab. I run down the road as fast as I can and when I get there, the passenger is seiriously trying to kill this poor guy by choking him and giving him shots in the back of the head.
I try to open the door but it is locked, and the cabbie doesn't see me there, so I take this huge ice chunk to smash the window of the passenger side to stop him. ice breaks. No one is around and I start freaking out a bit, so with my adrenaline, and my huge winter boots on, I kick the window and few times, and after the 3rd blow it shatters. I immediatly hit the passenger in the side of the face, and while he was distracted, I unlocked his door, opened it, and while I was doing this, the cabbie had time to get out of his cab. I pulled this asshole out of the cab, and he's yelling "I'm going to kill you **** (racial term)" The cabbie takes his huge flashlight he has, and cracks him over and over in the head, it sounded like a coconut, and this guy would NOT stay down and kept coming at both of us. Afraid he might pull out a knife we did the next best thing, we both defended ourselves the best we could without severly fucking this guy up. The cabbie kicked this guys ass man!! :p He took his big ass flashlight to finally kncok him out cold. The guy was a bloody mess, but so was the cabbie.
I get on his radio and call for help. Cops come within minutes, check the situation, asked me a ton of questions, and let me go home. I am know getting honored as Bravery to helping a fellow human being from the police at the city hall next week. I get a medal, a plaque, and recognition for my help.
I can't just stand by and let something like this happen. I know, things could have turned out worse, but imagine how I would have felt if I read that a cabbie got chocked to death, and I could have stopped it.
