Subway cellist attacked with metal bottle at Herald Square: ‘I don't think I can do this anymore'

Iain Forrest was passionately performing for evening rush commuters at the Herald Square subway station when a woman came up behind him and smacked him in the back of his head with his water bottle.

Forrest, a medical student and electric cellist with the stage name Eyeglasses, says the random attack happened at exactly 5:50 p.m. on Feb. 13 and it was all caught on video. His assaulter appeared to be leaning on a column at the 34th Street station while looking at her phone when she suddenly put the device in her tote bag, marched behind Forrest, grabbed his metal water bottle and forcefully struck him.

“I just felt in the middle of the performance some terrible collision in the back of my head,” Forrest recalled.

“I don’t think I can do this anymore,” he announced on his Instagram two days later. “I’m suspending subway performances indefinitely.”

[Deuxcents]

1. WTH is wrong with people? What has become of us?

Violence of every sort. Everyday a mass murder happens. It’s sickening

[Elessar Zappa]

2. We just hear about it more due to social media.

Violence is at its lowest levels since the early 60s actually.

16. Good ficeo of the tone deaf asshole's face

They'll get her. If she'd been just a little stronger, a full metal water bottle could have injured him seriously.

One of the things I loved best about Boston and NYC were the street performers. I miss them.

18. What The Heck Was That?

How could somebody be that triggered?
Was it interfering with her precious phone call?
She couldn't just move 50' away?
I sure hope that catch that lunatic.
