While on their way to watch “Les Miserables,” two homeless men started fighting on an uptown 6 train in the middle of rush hour, DNAinfo reports. Witnesses told the news site that the train’s conductor was aware of the fight and remained in the Bleecker Street station, asking over the loudspeakers if there were any police officers on board. “They were lying on the floor, one on top of the other,” said Stockholm officer Makrus Åsberg, 25. “We got to make sure that nobody gets hurt . . . try to calm them down without hurting them.
