A New York subway passenger and his fiancee were attacked by a group of breakdancers when he confronted them about their behavior while soliciting donations. 

At around 1.20pm on Wednesday, David Giaccone, 40, and his fiancee Kassandra Noce, 26, were riding on the A Train in Brooklyn when a group of four dancers announced that their show was about to begin.

'I [usually] clap and enjoy the dancers,' Giaccone told DailyMail.com. 'This crew was out of line.'  

The dancers began moving through the train car aggressively soliciting donations, Gianccone said.

'They were getting everyone's attention, threatened to snuff people cause they weren't getting money,' he said. 'When they got to me and my fiancee we stood up to the bullying and told them not to be rude, and it escalated from there.'

One of the dancers lunged at Gianccone, striking him in the face and hitting the man's fiancee with his forearm, he said.  

Then four of the men piled on, pummeling Gianccone with 'cheap shots,' he said. A trained martial artist, he angled his head to avoid a broken nose as he tried to shield Noce, his fiancee...

Cops stopped the train and took a report, and Gianccone was transported to a hospital, where he received four stitches.

The attack left him with a cut on his left cheek and a deep scratch over his left eye.
