Subway riders brawl over passenger eating spaghetti on the train

An argument over eating etiquette on the New York subway led to a fierce brawl between a pasta-loving passenger and a middle-aged straphanger, an online video shows. The clip begins with a woman chowing down on spaghetti while trading barbs with another woman sitting across from her on a subway car.



The feud escalates a few minutes in when the middle-aged passenger asks the woman, "What kind of animals eat on the train?" The diner responds, "What kind of fat - looks like you?"

After several more tense exchanges, the diner - with plate of food in hand - and her friend go face to face with the other woman, leading to the all-out brawl. As onlookers try to calm the parties, the two women push each other, then start swinging - sending the spaghetti flying.
