TMZ:  Chad L. Coleman — an actor who famously played Tyreese on “The Walking Dead” and Cutty on “The Wire” had a complete meltdown Friday on a New York City subway train. Coleman is screaming, making sure everyone knows he’s Chad L. Coleman from “The Walking Dead” and “The Wire.” His rant is nonsensical and ear-shattering loud. You see passengers recoil and eventually the seats around him are empty. We spoke with Coleman, who told us he heard a guy and a girl on the train talking, trying to figure out where they knew him. He says the guy told the girl, “No, we don’t know that n*****,” and that set him off. As for the screams about humanity, he says he was referencing the problems in Baltimore. He says he was sober on the train.

FOXInsider: The heart stopping moment a Good Samaritan saved a man who fell off a train platform was caught on surveillance camera. Footage from Philadelphia’s 15th Street Station shows Alfred McNamee slipping off the platform and falling head first onto the SEPTA tracks on Wednesday evening. Seconds later, Charles Collins leaped onto the tracks to save McNamee from getting hit by a train. The 28-year-old hero pushed the man up and towards the platform edge, where other commuters helped to pull them both to safety. McNamee suffered a number of serious injuries, including a broken back. Collins only suffered a minor leg injury.

AnimalNewYork: An old man wearing a full New York Knicks sweatsuit was terrorizing straphangers on the subway with a gigantic dildo last weekend. Here’s the story, according to ANIMAL’s Aymann Ismail, who witnessed this around 9 PM on Saturday night aboard a Flatbush Avenue-bound 2 train: An older man of indeterminate ethnic origin boarded the train at Atlantic Avenue; the man seemed “fucked up on some kind of drug,” loose-limbed and sloppy. Some young men sitting next to him began making fun of him. One of the dudes took out his phone to snap a selfie with the older guy. At that point, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a massive dildo. An anonymous sex toy industry expert ANIMAL consulted estimated that it was between 14-16″ long.

Gothamist: Teens are not exactly known to exemplify the platonic ideal of straphanger behavior—they’re usually too busy hanging off the backs of trains, racing across the third rail, or playing real life “subway surfer” to pay much attention to other people. One such group of teens has apparently been placing pieces of metal onto the subway tracks in recent months, causing mini explosions like the one in the video. This video, which was filmed this past week, shows a C train coming into the Nostrand Avenue station followed by a small explosion with a fury of sparks, apparently due to a metal object on the track. A tipster told us, “I had just come across this video on my Facebook feed…The object, according to the comments, is a rollsign box, which is the destination sign that you see in the older trains.” A subway motorman reposted the video on Facebook with some details: “That kid keyshawn ….He is out again and put a fucking rollsign box on the tracks,” wrote the motorman, who later deleted his comments. He added:

Some kid who hangs with ‘these kids’ who just got locked up posted it…They got locked up for almost fatally killing me in the back of my head with a break handle they already got locked up and THEY STILL HAVENT STOPPED…And they spent a couple days in Rikers and still won’t stop.

Listen, everyone needs a vacation now and again and I’m definitely overdue! We’ll be back to the grind July 31st. Who knows, maybe a post or 2 will find it’s way through next week. Either way keep sending stuff people…
