The 28-year-old was filmed taunting and threatening passengers before she noticed that she was being filmed and told the cellphone cameraman to 'get her good side' while posing
As the row escalated, she appears to pull a blade out of her large red handbag and brandishes it in the face of another rider as she warns him not to say 'another word'
Quote:
When she notices she is being filmed, she turns and poses for the camera - telling the person filming: 'Hi, I'm used to cameras. Get my good side.'
Chrisette then continues to stare at the victims and moments later she lunges with the blade in her hand.
Other riders quickly intervened and dragged her off but a 28-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man suffered small cuts to their faces, police said.
A friend of victim told The Gothamist: 'Apparently the whole thing started when my friend was holding on to the pole that she [the suspect] was leaning on and turned very nasty, even after my friends attempted to move away from her.'
Chrisette fled the train at Nostrand Avenue but later turned herself over to police in Williamsburg.
As detectives handcuffed her, a friend of the suspect was heard to shout: 'Be nice to the police officers!'
