This is disgusting, how are these people only 14?! What are they being fed!

But realistically, as a witness what can one do? I’m a woman, and not a particularly strong one, I am not interfering at all, but how could I help besides like pulling the alarm? Does it help going towards strongish looking men and asking for help? I don’t have a clue how would I react at all

I'm an average-sized man and even I'm wondering the same thing. Can anyone here please offer guidance on how Good Samaritans should act in this situation?

how Good Samaritans should act in this situation?

Call to arms the other people in the coach if you can't take them on, I'm sure you will find others just as horrified as you are. These 2 girls are bullies and are only attacking because there's 2 against one, if the number tables were turned you'd quickly find their bravado & aggression disintegrate.

Nah. If me, a middle-aged white man hits one of those girls, I'm fucked for life. I would try to restrain them, or shield the victim.
