Chris Olsen, a famous TikTok influencer, went viral after reporting that he witnessed a violent stabbing in a New York subway car.
Singer and TikToker Chris Olsen went viral in a video where he reported witnessing a violent stabbing on New Year’s Day. The incident occurred in a New York subway car.
Olsen was with his friend, Cara, when he saw two people arguing heatedly. Suddenly, one of them pulled out a “really big” knife, and the other passengers panicked.
“And everyone on the train stands up and starts running straight toward me and Cara because we’re near the end of the car,” he said in the video, which has already been viewed over 10 million times.
Olsen shared that he used his “adrenaline and unexplored superhero strength” to open the door while the terrified crowd jumped into the adjacent car.
“All we could hear behind us were people screaming. We didn’t know if someone had pulled out a gun or if anyone else had been stabbed,” he added.
A passenger triggered the emergency brake, stopping the train for about 20 minutes, according to Olsen.
A subway conductor arrived at the car and opened the locked door so that the displaced passengers could enter the next car and sit before the train continued its journey.
On January 2, Olsen went to his Instagram profile to show that he wasn’t shaken by the incident.
“Back to the subway to avoid developing a traumatic response,” he wrote in a story.
