'When the train got less crowded at 59th St, he started cursing loudly the whole way till 125th St. I only captured the last minute but he said several times that he would kill us right then and there because we were terrorists.

Local media reports that the couple were going to make a formal report to the police but were advised the man was unlikely to face prosecution because he looked mentally unstable.
