I know this happens often but the other day a man was screaming and cursing loudly on the 1 train car I was in. While he wasn’t physically touching any person he was hitting objects and the wall of the car. Most of the people in the car we were in all left to the next car and then when he came into that one we went into the car after. Some got out next stop. I talked to MTA and they said they couldn’t do anything to stop him but they did call police. The subway had to be stopped for several minutes at Lincoln center to subdue him.

Is there any better way to handle this?
