"YouTube video leads to MARTA arrest Young woman shown pitching a fit, threatening elderly woman on train By ARIEL HART The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 05/13/08 MARTA officials said they have arrested Nafiza Ziyad, 25, as the result of an online video in which a young woman appears to be threatening an elderly woman on a MARTA train. The video, posted on YouTube two weeks ago, has drawn more than 7,000 comments on the site and been viewed 600,000 times. Ziyad was arrested Thursday night. When MARTA police identified her, they found she was being held at the Atlanta city jail on other charges, MARTA officials said. A woman who said she was Ziyad's mother, Elaine Sabree, said Ziyad was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder three years ago and that the video shows one of her daughter's episodes of manic behavior. "I truly believe she was off her medication," Sabree said, adding that her daughter had been arrested by MARTA police before. "In a way, she knows she's bipolar but she thinks she can do without the medicine. She doesn't like the way it makes her feel." Sabree said that when Ziyad is herself she is an ambitious, bright and happy person, and that when she visited her in jail Tuesday she was remorseful. She hopes this incident will convince Ziyad to take her medication. "She's sorry that it happened," Sabree said. "She's going to apologize. She didn't remember the incident, but when MARTA showed her the video the memory came back." The video shows a young woman turning around to yell at a white-haired passenger in the seat in behind her, then standing up and shouting at her in a freestyle rap. The older woman's face isn't visible and MARTA is withholding her identity. The young woman's rant is laced with profanity and racial slurs. She doesn't appear to touch the older woman, but in the course of yelling at her lunges close and makes a motion slapping the air back and forth. Other passengers in the car do nothing at first, but occasionally laugh, until what sounds like a male voice says, "It's an old lady, man, chill." The young woman turns to the voice and says "Old lady? You know what this old lady called me?" then calms down and sits down for a moment before getting up again. She moves toward the voice and down the aisle, screaming and appearing highly disturbed as other passengers get up and try to deal with her or give her space. MARTA police have charged Ziyad with simple assault, two counts of "certain acts in transit," and disorderly conduct, all misdemeanors, in the incident they say occurred on March 10. She is in DeKalb County jail, according to a statement from MARTA police chief Wanda Dunham. "I want to reiterate that this is an extremely isolated incident," Dunham said. Duhham said MARTA passengers in an emergency can: - Press the red emergency button near the car's back door or sometimes the exit door. It may say "train operator." - In an emergency, call MARTA police directly at 404-848-4911. Non-emergency is 404-848-4900. - On AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint/Nextel cell phones, press #MPD (#673) for "Marta Police Department." - Blackberry users can press #673."
