don't touch me. do not touch me. >> when anger builds -- >> [ bleep ]. you all started [ bleep ] with me! >> and people are pushed past their limits, watch out. >> did they just deck the bride? >> wedding parties collide. >> everybody is punching each other. >> the slap heard across the field. >> it was pandemonium. >> and it's the end of the line for an angry passenger. explosive outbursts. >> i want my mom! i want my mom! >> violent confrontations. >> [ bleep ]. >> outrageous behavior. >> get off the [ bleep ]. you're crazy!

5:01 pm
it's the last stop on the train for this man when he has a meltdown and another passenger takes action. >> that's when he got in his fate, i'm going to kill you, i'm going to kill you. >> september 27th, 2012. minneapolis, minnesota. it's a chilly 29 degrees as shawn daivari heads to the airport on the hiawatha train line. >> light rail in minneapolis is as nice and clean as you can get. >> but on this day, nice and clean gets down and dirty when a car full of commuters has to contend with an unruly passenger. >> when i first got on the
5:02 pm
train, he was just kind of, like, randomly yelling out, cussing a lot and stuff. i sat up in my seat, put on my headphones, pulled out my tablet like i always do. there were a lot of kids and older people on the train and stuff which didn't bother me that much. i just thought it wasn't very polite. >> the security video is silent and low quality, but it appears from the man's body language he's getting more agitated by the second. >> he was just kind of moving up and down the trains not necessarily talking to one person, but just kind of being loud and obnoxious to anyone who was in earshot. i sat back, kicked up my heels. i have 20 minutes to ignore this guy, thin things started escalating. >> when a train rolls into the next station, a request from a boarding passenger sends the agitated traveler off the rails. >> one specific guy got on his train with his bicycle and there's a bike rack where you lock your bikes up and he was kind of blocking the way. he was going, excuse me, excuse me. he was like, [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. he was kind of just generally saying kind of all kinds of
5:03 pm
nasty stuff and cussing and swearing all over the place. and then, like is the case with all sorts of public transportation, there's always some crazy loony tune screaming and saying stuff. i've seen much worse and more crazier in manhattan and australia and stuff. everyone else from a small suburban midwest town, it was very unsettling for them. >> just off camera, one brave soul decides to take a stand against the bully, and he, too, finds himself the target of the man's verbal assault. >> it's, like, a little old asian guy was telling him to, like, hey, sit down, be quiet, you're making this train ride very uncomfortable and hostile for everybody. that's when he got in his face [ bleep ], i'm going to kill you, i'm going to kill you. i kind of, like, looked around the train and saw everyone else. my first thought was, damn it, i'm the only guy who can do something about this. >> the belligerent passenger has no idea who was sitting five feet behind him. shawn daivari is known in the professional wrestling world as sheik abdul bashir.
5:04 pm
>> the character i played on all the shows i've been on has always been like the top villain. >> on this day, the villain is the hero. >> if you've seen the footage, i kind of have to go up to grab him. i couldn't grab around his neck. i kind of do like a little jump. fortunately i was strong enough to be able to pull him down. fighting uphill always sucks. once i got the choke in, that was the first part. i knew i couldn't out-muscle him. i had to choke him out. once he started fighting me off and hold himself up. as i really got it synced, his body was starting to lighten up and i grabbed him in a body scissor. there are a lot of ways to get out of it, or counter it. fortunately, he didn't know any so it worked out best for everybody. >> and just like that, the menacing passenger is down for the count. >> once he was out, like, i didn't know what my next step was. i mean, it's not something you hold on forever, i don't want to kill guy. it's also something if you let go of him, he's going to be back on his feet in 45 seconds. the train just happened to hit a stop and the doors opened up. i figured, like, get rid of him, throw him on the platform and
5:05 pm
hopefully no one else is there and he'll be no one else's problem. one guy helped me throw him out because he was so heavy. i threw his backpack at him. someone threw my jacket. it was my jacket. it was an expensive coat, too. >> passengers may have been relieved, but metro transit officials recommend contacting authorities rather than taking matters into your own hands. >> what we would tell people to do would be to use that call box as you see people do in the video. >> there's a call box located in each train car which can be used to alert metro transit police. >> we saw the gentleman with the bicycle went over and used the call box to notify the rail operator. when that happened, our supervisors in the rail control center started to use the station cameras and focus in on what might be happening, and so what they see is basically customers just regularly getting off the train and then a man sort of gets shoved off and a couple men sort of follow him.
5:06 pm
and then they prevent him from getting back on the train. and the train pulls away. >> defeated and dazed, the man slowly gathers himself on the platform. police question both the man and witnesses, but no one presses charges. and shawn daivari shows that behind his bad guy persona on tv is a good man willing to help. >> this was nice for one time, people to see sean, differentiate him from what they see on tv. coming up -- civility hits a road block. >> you're crazy. >> when "caught on camera: rage" continues. ♪ ♪ hey [ male announcer ] when we built the cadillac ats from the ground up, to be the world's best sports sedan... ♪ ...people noticed. ♪ something like a phenomenon, baby ♪ ♪ you're something like a phenomenon ♪ [ male announcer ] the cadillac ats,

yeah. now what? >> the woman in this pickup truck believes another driver cut her off, and that makes her angry. >> [ bleep ], two people pass you before you all started [ bleep ] with me.
5:10 pm
>> august 18th, 2012. akron, ohio. 2:00 p.m. simon fulmer and his girlfriend are heading to a store when they cross paths with an aggressive driver in a school zone. >> there was a purple truck that was following us, and she got pretty upset when i slowed down to 20 miles an hour. so i changed lanes. and she changed lanes. so i changed lanes again to get out of her way. and i think she thought that i was trying to block her from going around. >> fulmer says he isn't deliberately provoking the woman, but she's clearly upset and becomes more aggressive. >> she came to the side of the car again and threw a cup at the car. that's when i told my girlfriend, you know, call the police and tell them that there's a pretty serious person on the road with some road rage. >> akron police and fire. >> there is a dodge truck. it is purple. they just threw a drinking glass out of their car at my car. >> his girlfriend is on the phone and fulmer records the woman's next move with his cell phone.
5:11 pm
though police say you really shouldn't record and drive. >> sometimes the best proof of things is a video. the police had said that they were only about 30 seconds away, and because she had thrown things at the car, if we were close enough, you know, just keep your distance. >> the couple does not heed police advice. >> she told us to pull into summit mall by putting her hand out of her truck and pointing toward the mall. >> fulmer pulls up next to the purple truck in the mall's parking lot and when the driver steps out of her vehicle, she's raging mad. >> they're pulling a bat out. >> yeah. now what? put your camera on. you let two [ bleep ] people pass you all before you all started [ bleep ] with me. >> we pulled probably about 30 feet from her. she got out of her car and started yelling even more, and then she pulled a bat out of her car. really surprised me, the first thing that went through my mind was there goes my windshield. >> but the woman isn't coming after fulmer's car. the passenger side window is open and the video shows the
5:12 pm
enraged woman reaching in and attacking fulmer's girlfriend. >> [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> they're in my car and hitting and they stole my glasses. >> she slapped her. it's kind of like, wow, she's taking it to even a higher level of smacking her. i think she was trying to knock the phone away, but she slapped her and she hit her glasses. >> i don't give a [ bleep ] about you. >> they're in my car and they're hitting me. >> i was really upset that she took it to the extreme that she did and the whole time i was just thinking to myself, where are the police and when are they going to show up? somebody that has a shirt on that says "no stress, no pressure, no problem," she takes the littlest thing on the road to a complete road rage. "f" you guys this, "f" you guys that. she was just cursing up a storm. >> fulmer's girlfriend, still on the phone with the dispatcher, calmly relays what's happening. >> [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> they're in my car and hitting
5:13 pm
me. they stole my glasses. they just threw my glasses at me, ripped them off of my face. i want them arrested for assault. >> she's always been good at keeping her cool, and there was yelling back and forth wasn't going to change anything. so try and do the better thing. >> police are on their way, but fulmer gets out of his car and confronts the bat-wielding woman. >> ripped them off of my face. i want them arrested for assault. >> i want you arrested for assault because you guys are the ones that tried to run me off the [ bleep ] road. >> threatening with a deadly weapon. >> oh, please. >> the police are on the way. >> go get them. call them. because you're the ones -- i got a witness here, too. >> she's on the phone with them. >> you two are the ones that were driving in front of me trying to get me to hit your damn car. >> you know what, this is the witness. this is the witness. >> okay. you're a witness. >> go on. oh, here they are. good stuff. >> eric hendrickson with the fairlawn police department arrives on the scene.
5:14 pm
>> when i arrived they were still arguing pretty heavily, and i wanted to get them separated. that way i could talk to them to try to figure out what happened. >> both sides give conflicting stories about what leads up to the confrontation, but the video reveals what happens in the parking lot once they pull over. >> after we reviewed the video that simon showed us, we approached miss brown, advised her that the incident had been caught on tape and it had been determined that she was the primary aggressor in the situation. we placed miss brown under arrest. >> she pleads guilty to assault and aggravated menacing. she serves five days in county jail. even though fulmer's video is useful to the police, hendrickson warns once again against taking matters into your own hands. >> confronting the suspect in this type of situation isn't advisable. if you can keep your distance while you're on the phone with the 911 dispatcher, that way you're not putting yourself in
5:15 pm
harm's way. for simon to exit the vehicle put himself into a dangerous situation. >> as for simon, he has second thoughts about his actions that day. >> it's probably something i should have just let go and just keep driving because it wasn't worth all the hassle. it wasn't worth what it was. >> it's not good to lose your cool with another driver. and you really should take a deep breath before you scream at a police officer. >> are you [ bleep ] crazy? i wasn't speeding, you [ bleep ] fool. >> july 16th, 1992, lincoln, maine. state trooper stephen murray is patrolling a busy expressway when a red suv zips by. >> checked his speed and saw he was going 30 miles over the posted speed limit. within the 45 zone, the vehicle was coming at me at 75 miles an hour. >> murray stops the speeding vehicle. the police dashcam shows the officer walking toward the suv when the driver erupts into a shrieking fit of rage.
5:16 pm
>> i'll have to plead guilty. i have to work. i can't afford to take the day off. you damn [ bleep ]. >> i knew almost immediately this wasn't going to be your typical traffic stop. when i approached the vehicle, he was upset. you can hear him say that. just give me this thing and let me get the bleep out of here. >> i know what i do. you're ripping me off. >> murray stands a couple of feet from the driver's window and attempts to explain the ticket. >> can i explain to you, sir, so you'll know what you need to do? >> but the driver doesn't want to hear it. >> i don't deserve it because i didn't do nothing wrong. just give me the [ bleep ] ticket, and i'll look at the date. if i'm working, i'll pay the [ bleep ] fine because i can't afford to take a day off. >> unfazed by the tirade, murray makes a second attempt to explain the ticket. >> what i need you to do is sign the "x" so i can explain this to you. >> turns out this driver's need for speed has gotten him into trouble in the past. and he's already quite familiar with this procedure. >> i got picked up for speeding before. you're guilty and pay the fine and hope your insurance doesn't
5:17 pm
go up because you try not to speed the next time. that's what i've been trying to do for four, five years. it's worked damn good, until i run into you, you [ bleep ] hole. >> the driver simmers down enough for murray to read the instructions. >> you have 20 days to respond to the summons. read the back of this hard copy. this will explain how you can have a trial if you want to. >> when the driver learns the price of his ticket, he has another meltdown. >> the fine's right here, sir. it's $137.50. >> you're [ bleep ] crazy. ah! i can't -- you're [ bleep ] crazy! >> when he grabbed the ticket book, there's always the potential for danger. his heightened arousal, i would say, is beyond normal. he's very excited and that could have led to a lot of things. when you watch the video, you can see the vehicle going back and forth. he's just, like, shaking in his seat, going back and forth. he's moving back and forth. grabbing the steering wheel and screaming and hollering. he was so upset. my thought pattern was that this guy needs to vent. this is going to make him feel
5:18 pm
better, then by all means get it out. >> it's unclear if this is making him feel any better, but vent, he does. >> you're [ bleep ] crazy. ah! i can't -- you're [ bleep ] crazy! >> unlike the driver, trooper murray keeps a noticeably cool demeanor. >> you don't pick this up, sir, i'm going to summons you for littering. >> are you [ bleep ] crazy? i wasn't even speeding, you damn [ bleep ]! a hundred and some dollars? jesus. >> at that time, littering was $100. i would have wrote his name on the summons if he refused to do that, because that's just a blatant disrespect and disregard for everything. >> there's some more right there. >> i've never heard of a fine like that in my life, you [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. you damn, miserable [ bleep ].
5:19 pm
jesus christ. >> he called me lots of things. very descriptive, colorful wording. that my mother was proud of. >> though murray is on the receiving end of the lengthy outburst, he takes mercy on the driver. >> i'm giving you a warning on the failure to produce insurance. that's expired. >> didn't i give you another one? >> no. >> my wife told me it was expiring today. she went and paid her -- >> expired on the 10th. today is the 16th. >> even though the driver's having a bad day, he's optimistic about a brighter future. >> but there is hope, and i'm going to watch it tonight when bill clinton gives his acceptance speech. >> it was toward the end of the traffic stop, so at that point, everything was over. so that was the last of his speech that i was allowing. i did allow him. so he took the podium and he gave his speech. >> because there is hope. if we can get this economy going again and start feeding people, and get fools like you to do
5:20 pm
something decent instead of picking up some [ bleep ] innocent guy that wasn't speeding to begin with. >> bye. >> when you have a person like this, that certainly adds to the stress of your day. so what i'm thinking is, you know, the rest of my shift going to be this way? is the rest of my career going to be this way? i was glad it was over. >> bye. coming up -- here comes the bride. and here comes the brawl. >> did they just deck the bride? >> when "caught on camera: rage" continues. ♪

5:25 pm
>> and police are swarming the hotel lobby. >> this is really not something you see every day. and i thought, hey, you know, i'm here, i have an iphone. people might be interested in this. >> it's hard to follow what happens next, but the wedding celebration descends into a brawl. >> once the physical fighting broke out, i mean, it was just kind of chaos down there. everybody was punching each other. police were punching people. and people were punching police. it's a mess. there was so much screaming and yelling. there were probably 100 people with a whole lot of cops there. the cops were trying to control the situation, i think, by whatever means necessary. at that point, i saw a cop take down a lady in a, what looked like a long white dress, and thought that might have been the bride. >> the fight goes on for more than 20 minutes before police can get the crowd under control. >> after the fight, they put a couple people in handcuffs and escorted them out of the hotel.

couple, edwin ortiz and his blushing bride. >> translator: and during the interview, the guy seemed nervous. but remi asked him, do you love her? and he put the microphone next to him and the guy looked to both sides and then he said, yes. >> translator: then i started gathering information, and i thought to build my story, edwin's story would be one of the most interesting ones. and lucky me, it was the most interesting one. >> interesting because cadillo's simple love story gets decidedly more complicated. a group of women storm the auditorium and start pounding on the groom. >> translator: they started screaming and punching him and saying, that man is an adulterer. he has two children. how can he possibly get married if he has a wife at home? he's tricking this woman. >> his wife's family is furious that he's getting hitched to another woman. they unceremoniously run him out of the auditorium and into a

>> so they're throwing punches, and he got ahold of his backpack. he kind of pulls his backpack off. at this point, we still don't know where the phone is exactly. i'm telling him, you know, get on the ground, stop punching my friend. i have pepper spray. i will use it if i have to. >> he says the man reveals the iphone, but he's so caught up in the heat of the moment that he doesn't capture this on camera. >> and i'm, you know, threatening with the pepper spray. he pulls the phone out of his pocket and right there, we're like, that's the phone. >> look, i didn't steal from you, [ bleep ]. >> that is your phone. >> yes, it is. >> i recognize the case. >> schmidgall gets his phone back, but the fight is not over. he makes good on his threat to use pepper spray. >> take him down. >> the guy lunged at greg. he pepper sprayed him. it didn't keep the guy down at all. he kept coming at us, coming at us. >> he puts down the phone and joins the fight. >> i'll [ bleep ] pepper spray you. get on the ground.

a kid's football game spirals out of control. >> he's coming after us. >> when the grown-ups stop playing nice. october 13th, 2012. it's a hot afternoon in west park, florida. and the game between the west park saints and miramar patriots is even hotter, as they battle
5:52 pm
it out in the youth football semifinals. patrick manuel, a coach for the miramar patriots, is excited about the game. >> there had been a lot of hype around the game. south florida youth football even has its own dedicated channel for youth sports. >> and dion robinson, a coach for the west park saints, is just as pumped. >> the atmosphere was good. because it was like number one versus number two and we really wanted to see what was better. miramar or west park. >> it's the second half of the game, and the score is 8-6, patriots. >> every call was a big deal. there seemed to be a series of calls in a row that actually had both sidelines a little bit on edge. >> come on, we don't need any of these penalties. >> but when this referee calls two penalties in a row against the west park saints, tempers flared. >> he throws a flag. we asked what the flag was for, he said false start on number 7.
5:53 pm
how can you throw a flag when the guy is almost down the field? when i said that there, he threw another flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. >> this isn't captured on camera, but dion robinson says after the heated exchange, the referee shoves one of his players on the field. >> when he walked through, it was not like a little bump. >> the alleged push on his player pushes robinson over the edge. >> that's when i come out there on the field, i'm telling him, you have to apologize to the player. he tells me he doesn't have to apologize. you don't touch a kid like that. >> alex chisholm, a coach, watches as the intense confrontation unfolds. >> i wasn't standing that far away when he got into his face. i saw all of it. like, what's really going on? i see their coaches running on the field. at this time, all the kids just start dispersing. so there's a lot of words exchanged. i guess the environment became too hostile. so at that point, there was a referee with a white cap who we referred to as the white cap. he called the game.
5:54 pm
>> the game is called, and the west park saints are disqualified. while the miramar patriots start celebrating. saints coach dion robinson doesn't act so saintly. >> dion, he started to trot behind the referee as they were trying to escort him off the field. >> he's coming after him. >> i'm like, okay, what the heck is going on? there was pandemonium. >> get the kids off the field. >> going right to his left. then i just came with an open slap. if you look at the video, it shows a slap. >> the blow knocks the referee to the ground. >> open hand slap with my left hand. and i'm right-handed. >> get the kids. get the kids. >> the referee quickly gets up and heads to the patriots' sideline, but he's being followed. >> you have coaches, parents. everybody was coming on the field.
5:55 pm
>> all these adults on the field, there's all this commotion. >> robinson lunges at the referee again. this time, a parent restrains him and escorts him off the field. but the crowd is still stirred up. >> if you're looking at the tape, you'll see me in the right hand corner. i'm getting into an argument with another guy. there's almost another fight right there. >> the heightened emotions start to subside, and the crowd scatters. >> i think everybody may have been caught off guard, but i think everybody acted rationally and realized, you know, the best thing we can do right now is pack everybody up and get in our cars and get out of here. >> the fight makes headline news, and feeling pressured, robinson turns himself into the police two days later. he's charged with battery on a sports official and pleads guilty. he is sentenced to 18 months on probation and is no longer allowed to coach. >> so what comes next?
5:56 pm
a father, you got to protect. and that's what i was doing. protecting. if i could turn back and have the game again, and the same situation, if he didn't apologize, yeah, i'd do it again. sometimes in sports, the action is on the sidelines. october 24th, 1992, louisiana. the turpin stadium is packed with college football fans as they watch two rival teams battle for bragging rights. >> the atmosphere is typical for this game. pretty intense. great crowd. our stadium holds about 15,000 and it was close to a sellout. >> even though the competition is fierce among the players, the real tension is brewing between the mascots. it's the ulm mascot, chief brave spirit versus northwestern state mascot, vick the demon. >> he came all the way over to the other school's side and
5:57 pm
tapped me on the shoulder and called me out into the end zone. i never went into someone else's turf like that. >> to the northwestern mascot, vick the demon, this behavior is crossing the line. >> i wasn't taunting him. walking back to my side. and, you know, you followed me out here. so i don't know what you want to do. the only thing he said at first was not to embarrass him in front of his school. >> chief brave spirit slaps vick the demon, and it doesn't go over well with the already agitated mascot. >> the main thing going through my mind when the slap in the face happened was i'm not going down in front of my school. i just kind of lost it and went after him. >> i did kind of indent his face a little bit. just a slight little slap that i did. i didn't know his whole head was just foam. i thought it would have been like mine. it was a hard, hard helmet. >> vick the demon uses his
5:58 pm
gloved fist to deliver a blow to the chief. >> then i realize, okay, he's not just play fighting. because i didn't actually hit his person. i hit his foam head i didn't didn't even touch him. we're going to have to do this, i guess. >> the fight is now the main focus of the thousands of screaming fans. they kick and punch each other. vick the demon lunges at the chief and takes him down, but when the chief hits the ground, he breaks the unwritten rule in the mascot world. >> my head was ripped off, and from there, it's a little bit of a blur. the next thing i remember is kind of swinging him over my hip sort of and jumping on top of him. >> i was a bit concerned when the mask came off, but at that point in time, the chief was on the ground and vick may have lost his mask, but the chief is the one who ended up on his butt on the ground. >> beheaded and out for revenge, shane goes after the chief's head.
5:59 pm
his is tightly secured with a chin strap. >> i grabbed his ponytail. i was trying to pull his head off. the ponytail slipped right through my gloved hands. i pulled two sides of the head and i was pulled. i probably drug him five feet or something. that's the way i remember it. i may not have dragged him very far. i pounced on top of him and shoved his head. i could see, like, this much of him. >> police separate the feuding mascots. they both throw their hands up and declare victory. while the chiefs team wins the actual football game, two decades later, the winner of the mascot fight is debatable. >> i kept my head on. any time you lose your head literally or physically, i think you're at the wrong end of the fight. >> he did throw his hands up in victory, but i was picked up from being on top of him. so i feel like, personally, that i was on top, so i won.
6:00 pm
don't grab my wrists like that! what is wrong with you? >> an inmate's troubled past leads to angry outbursts inside the jail. >> if i'm to the point i'm mad at you here in my face, we're going to have a problem. >> i put him in segregation from the moment he got here because of his combative nature and the way he was acting. >> another inmate arrives in t
