The woman who filmed this week’s bloody mayhem on an A train has vowed never to ride a New York City train “again.”
“I don’t feel well. I’m still traumatized. I can’t even step outside,” Shelley Paul told the Post from her Brooklyn home on Saturday.
“My body keeps shaking…it hurts. I was stepped on.
“I’m considering moving from New York. It’s very unsafe for me as a single mother,” she said.
The medical assistant was on the northbound A train at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday when Dajuan Robinson began acting randomly and aggressively toward fellow straphanger Younes Obouad. .

Law enforcement officials told the Post that Robinson appeared to have mistaken Obuad for being a recent immigrant and harassed the stranger.
During a scuffle between the two, Obuad ended up shooting Robinson four times with his own gun, including once in the eye, leaving him in critical condition.
When the conflict becomes physical, “fuck you guys.”
It’s not safe for me as a single mother,” Sherry Paul said.
Paul was able to record most of the event on his cell phone.
Paul said the city needs to install more security cameras or hire more police officers.
“There were no police. [the incident] It was about 30 seconds before the train stopped. “Imagine if it was two minutes or three minutes,” she said.
ABC News journalist Joyce Phillip, who also witnessed the chaos on the train and posted the video to X, said on Saturday that she was “still shaken and traumatized but feeling better.”
