A viral video that appears to show a BART passenger spraying other riders with a fire extinguisher after an apparent dispute is being investigated by the transit operator.
In the video posted by TikTok user @ishmeboolu, the suspect appears to threaten another passenger on the train before spraying the extinguisher in their direction, hitting nearby passengers and what appears to be a stroller.
The suspect then departed the train as the doors closed. A video caption said the incident happened on Christmas Eve. The video below contains some strong language.
