Whoa these two men just tried to throw this kid off the muni train because he was playing music too loudly. He easily could’ve hit oncoming traffic. This is not okay.
... They’re attempting to throw him onto the street. You can see it clearly here. He’s just a kid. This is not okay.
... In my report for @mic, the witness who took the video explains why no one intervened in the SF #Muni attack: Dexter Lotz, man who was attacked on San Francisco Muni train, said he nearly lost consciousness #MuniMatt #SFMTA
... She told me that it was mostly women who were bystanders and that one woman did try to intervene but couldn’t do much.
From Sterling's report for Mic:
Dexter Lotz, man who was attacked on San Francisco Muni train, said he nearly lost consciousness
City to investigate after Twitter video shows two men forcibly throwing young man off Muni
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story has been updated to include comment from SFMTA and San Francisco police.
Two videos posted to Twitter Thursday night show two adult men physically tackling an apparently younger man of color and throwing him off a San Francisco Muni train against his will.
Social media users who helped the video go viral pointed to racial tensions as possible motivations behind the incident, and dubbed the young man’s alleged assailants, who appear white, #MuniMatt and #MuniMark, though their identities and ethnicities are not known.
Anna Sterling, a local journalist who posted the videos, confirmed the incident occurred on the N-Judah Muni line Thursday night somewhere between 32nd and 40th Avenues. Sterling said she was not on the train herself, but the video was recorded by her friend. Sterling is a journalist with bylines at the Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, VICE and NBC News, among other outlets.

From Sterling's report for Mic:
Dexter Lotz, man who was attacked on San Francisco Muni train, said he nearly lost consciousness
San Francisco native Dexter Lotz was on his way home from a fun-filled afternoon with friends and family in Dolores Park on Thursday. The 21-year-old, who works at a local deli, left San Francisco’s Mission District, taking the N-Judah train alone back to his place in the outer Sunset neighborhood in the Bay Area. Playing some XXXTentacion on his speaker, he was getting ready to get off the train around 31st Avenue.
That’s when a heavy-set man wearing a hat and beard, who has yet to be identified, approached him. Lotz had noticed that the man was looking at him throughout the ride. He figured it was about the music he was playing on his speaker.
...
Lotz is considering a civil case against the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. According to San Francisco Police Department, they received several calls about the incident before they arrived on the scene. The second man involved in the altercation had not been found. It’s currently an ongoing investigation.
“This is very disturbing video,” Paul Rose, spokesperson for SFMTA, said. “We are working with SFPD to fully investigate this matter. We are providing the surveillance video from the train to SFPD for the investigation.”
...
Lotz said he remembers three men getting involved in the altercation and that he almost lost consciousness more than once.
