I was on that train and when doors opened I just saw people running and then a woman came inside our train cart screaming asking for water and saying ‘my eyes my eyes’ and then people started running THROUGH the train cart doors and that’s when everyone started running out and the stairs were packed people were falling on the pavement and on the stairs as everyone ran for their life and people were screaming ‘he has a gun he has a gun’ and I got out near the target and ran towards 3 ave to get into a cab
I was also on this train on the same car. The masked guy started barking at another man who didn’t seem to speak english saying things like “get off at the next stop I’ll kill you.” When the doors at 14th opened, he seemed to kick the man and pulled out some sort of spray bottle and sprayed orange foam into his direction along with everyone in the car and those waiting at the door to get on the train. All of us standing at the back of the train ran out towards the back of the platform and the masked individual ran up the stairs with his bicycle. People were on the ground of the platform coughing and gasping.
I just left out the target that’s right on top of the station and I saw many people standing around coughing and covering their faces. The smell was so strong that even the people who weren’t downstairs in the station were affected by this.
I was there he ran up and was gone so quick I couldn’t run up the stairs it smelled everywhere the cops wanted me to go on an ambulance but I was okay enough to talk but I felt my insides hurt so much from I couldn’t breath he was on a black bike all in black and a black mask I think you never see their face but that orange thick smoke he had was enough to choke you to death :( my head and my check hurt so much but this shit is something you talk about it happening but not to you :( bro never again
