People are expressing outrage after two videos of a fight on a
Muni train were posted on social media.
He was recently riding Muni, playing his music, when he says a
fellow passenger confronted him. "He said, 'Are you getting
off?' I said, 'Do you have a problem with my music?'"
Lotz says the man put him in a chokehold, while another
passenger stepped in to help restrain him. Passengers can be
heard in the video telling the men to let him go.
One of the passengers threw Lotz' skateboard out the door and
then both men are seen shoving him off the train.
"They attacked me," Lotz told ABC7 News. "I didn't feel fear."

Muni spokesperson Paul Rose has seen the video. "We ask people
not to play music, but we never want to see people take on
issues on their own."
"I want justice," said Lotz.
He also told ABC7 News that he's been asked to turn his music
down before on Muni. "If someone would have asked me to turn it
down, I would have done that."

They’re attempting to throw him onto the street. You can see it
clearly here. He’s just a kid. This is not okay.
