Subway attacker: 'You could have said excuse me'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say a passenger on Washington's subway was punched in the face after sitting down next to a younger man who had refused to scoot over.
Metro Transit police say the Blue Line passenger had approached a man blocking the aisle and asked him to move over so he could sit down. The man refused, so the passenger slid past him to the window seat.
According to a police report cited in The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/2nlCPB2 ), the suspect said, "You could have said 'Excuse me' before sitting." Then the man punched him and fled.
