After being kicked from the vehicle, the man continued insulting the couple. He went to the woman wearing Hijab and threatened her saying «I hope you die», and «go back to your country». It did not end there as the man left the station with his arm raised while shouting «Heil Hitler».

The victims decided to warn the driver of the racist aggression that had taken place just a few minutes earlier. The couple explained that they had to get off at the República Argentina station, but were afraid that the man would harm them.
