A man riding a Metro train under the influence got slapped by a woman and then punched an off-duty cop in the face.

The pugilistic episode happened Saturday, after the Texans 30-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, at the light-rail stop near NRG Stadium.

Surveillance cameras inside the train and on the platform captured the action, which did not result in any charges being filed, Metro said. (Story continues below)





As seen on the video, a man in a gray sweater was gesturing and talking and then yelled, "Mamacita" to someone outside the train. A woman on the platform, later identified as a Metro employee who was not on the job, indicated that she wanted the man to come to the train door.

When the door opened, she slapped his face. A man on the platform approached the train and for his trouble got punched in the face by the man in the sweater.

The man on the platform could be heard yelling that the other man had just hit an off-duty HPD officer. In the end, police arrived and escorted the unruly passenger off the train, according to KPRC.

On Tuesday, Metro released this statement:

"This incident involved an intoxicated man who made comments that our employee describes as vulgar and disrespectful of women. This did not happen on company time and no charges were filed."
