what would you do if you Was in this OLD lady's place!? i mean i saw a lot of psychiatric patients in my life but MAN this woman scared the living day lights out of me :(

Nafiza Ziyad has been making headlines since her You Tube video has been plastered all over the internet. Captured by another rider the video of the woman’s rant, directed at an elderly MARTA rider, has become an Internet sensation, getting heavy viewing on YouTube.com and other Web video sites.

During the confrontation the young woman refers to herself as “Soulja Girl,” repeatedly uses the N-word and threatens an elderly woman.

After getting tips identifying the young woman as Ziyad, MARTA police charged her with simple assault and two counts of disorderly conduct.

Investigators told WSB-TV Channel 2 reporter Tom Jones they were able to identify the elderly passenger and after speaking with her they arrested Ziyad. Her mother told WSB-TV’s Monica Pearson Ziyad is bipolar and was off her medication when the attack took place.

“I was shocked,” said Ziyad’s mother, Elaine Sabree. Sabree told Pearson her daughter was off her medication because, “She didn’t believe she was bipolar.”

At first other passengers don’t interfere during the minutes-long attack, but finally one man can be heard telling “Soulja Girl” to “chill.” Instead of taking that advice she turns on the other passengers, accusing one of rape.

Eventually a male passenger confronts her and appears to knock her wig askew.

After repeatedly screaming “I’m pressing charges, I’m pressing charges,” the woman exits the train.

After learning of the video MARTA police launched what they called “an immediate and aggressive investigation into the incident.”

“I pray this is a wake up call for her,” said Sabree. “Someone could have gotten hurt.”

MARTA officials said they will work with the solicitor general’s office to prosecute Ziyad to the fullest extent of the law.

The elderly woman has been identified as Mary Freeman. Freeman’s son, Richard Freeman, is the head football coach at Morehouse College. He told Pearson his mother doesn’t want to go on camera because she, “doesn’t want to make the girl feel bad.” He said his mother was never angry at the young woman and Freeman knew Ziyad was troubled.

Thanks, I didn't think I had lost my mind completely.

You're right Alexa. PC is about to drive me insane to be honest - it is so over the top and down right stupid.

You're right...on the English lessons and about us watching it.

Here is an example of the harm that can come. Our school's football team went to football camp last summer. They were horsing around and wrestling. Well, some taped it and put it on Youtube. Well, one thing led to another and it made the local news. Needless to say it did not go over too well. Our team was banned from the camp this year. My son was really upset because he was a Freshman last year - Freshman did not get to go. This would have been his first year. The kids didn't do anything wrong, but school officials said it looked like they were "hazing" others. So a lot of young men learned a very valuable lesson. Unfortunately, the price was paid by many others.

That's true Alexa, I watched it. I was curious after reading the text. However, if I had been there, I'd like to think that I would have intervened in the situation.

Unfortunately, in this day and age nothing is sacred. Everything ends up on Youtube.

People really need to think about what they put on the web. Granted this young woman needs serious help. However, what young people out there don't understand is this - what goes on the web - stays on the web....and it will come back to bite you in the bu**.

I guess with some this is their way of getting 10 seconds of fame - at someone else's mercy.

I think the person who posted this on You Tube is very mean. Mental illness is just that...an illness. She clearly needed help, not to be videoed.

That girl is posses by a devilish rapper spirit.

What she needs is Jesus to outcast them.

Unfortunately in your field of Psychiatry, science has a name for all the mental illnesses that succumb humanity and the remedy is "MORE PILLS" then the straight jacket. :)

For others, she is just another nut head in the subway.:*

I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

She'd scare the hell out of me also.

kudos to the lady for keeping her composure..

Lets hope the poor woman gets proper treatment from now on.

people with bipolar syndrome can easily keep on an even keel if they take their medications...if they don't, you have incidents like this or worse.

What a very nice lady to not public with the incident even tho she had every right to.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
