Footage showing an unidentified man drawing out a Samurai sword after fighting erupted between several passengers on a light rail car went viral over the weekend, the New York Daily News reported.
The video, which has attracted 300,000 views on YouTube, shows the man calmly intervening in a fight as two men attack one another. The man pulls out his Samurai sword, causing the combatants to immediately abandon their fight and flee the scene.
The unorthodox method of peacemaking has made the “modern-day Samurai” an Internet sensation in just a few days.
It is not yet clear whether the entire incident was staged, however. Officials are currently investigating the matter.
