Facebook user Bassilyo posted a video of what appears to be a fist fight between two Light Railroad Transit (LRT) passengers at LRT Carriedo Station earlier today. In just four hours, the video has been shared more than 6,000 times, and viewed more than 300,000 times.

According to a certain Joey Padilla who sent the video to the poster “Bassilyo”, one of the two fighters (the man in black T-shirt), challenged the other (in pink pants) for a fist fight while still inside the train. Padilla said that the one in black was boasting.

Padilla added that the man in black asked the one in pink to fight against him when the train stops at the next station. The said station appeared to be the Carriedo Station.

After the train stopped, Padilla said the fight started.

In more than 1 minute video, the man in black was knocked down several times. Another passenger tried to stop and separate them but his effort became futile as both men wanted to have his own shot. In the end, the man in black was totally knocked-out.

The guard arrived after more than 1 minute of fighting.

It looks like LRT stations have weak security. The fight should have been stopped earlier if there was an immediate response from the security guards on duty. Injuries should have been avoided.

It was unknown if the man in black suffered some broken facial bones of teeth, but it appears that he was injured from numerous blows and knockdowns.
