At the time, although not at its rush-hour peak, the train car was crowded, with all the seats filled and some passengers standing.[13] As the man continued ranting, the train operator was heard on the loudspeaker, saying "whoever is creating the disturbance needs to exit the train immediately".[13] The man continued, however,[13] directing his tirade at a 17-year-old Muslim, ****li girl, who was wearing a hijab, and her non-Muslim friend, a black girl, age 16.[15][16][17] The man told the girls to "go back to Saudi Arabia", to get out of "his country", and "said they were nothing and they should kill themselves".[15] He also reportedly said that "Muslims should die."[17] Fearful, the pair moved to the back of the train as three men—Ricky John Best, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, and Micah David-Cole Fletcher—stepped in to intervene in an attempt to de-escalate the situation.[13][14][15] According to a witness, Namkai-Meche told Christian in a loud voice: "You need to get off this train. Please, get off this train."[13] The witness said that the men attempted to form a barrier between Christian and the girls. Then Micah David-Cole Fletcher gave him "a slight push or shove" in an attempt to move him away. The man responded: "Touch me again, and I'm going to kill you."[13] According to police, Christian then fatally stabbed Best and Namkai-Meche, and injured Fletcher by slashing them in the neck with a knife.[18] At the Hollywood/Northeast 42nd Avenue Transit Center, passengers fled the car,[13] as did Christian. He ran into the Hollywood neighborhood chased by other passengers who had called 9-1-1.[17]
