Woman Sues After Being Thrown Off Metrorail For Singing Spirituals

CBS4 Miami reports on a lawsuit filed in Miami, Florida on Monday against the security company that furnishes guards for Miami's Metrorail and a guard who forced an 82-year old woman from a train for singing spiritual hymns.  Miami-Dade Transit says its rules prohibit anyone from singing, dancing or playing a musical instrument on the train without a permit. The lawsuit says that Emma Anderson was on the train to get some fresh air and find comfort in her faith following the recent death of her brother. She was bruised attempting to reclaim her small rolling suitcase from the guard who grabbed it when he told her to get off the train. The suit alleges assault, battery and negligence. Anderson's attorney says she was targeted because of her race and religion.
