If you don't already, please consider putting Metro Transit Police's text and call numbers in your phone. If something like this happens again, you can text your train's location (and which way it's going) to the number and tell them you're being threatened with assault. MTP has been a lot more responsive than MPD in my experience and an officer is usually on the train within 1-2 stops.

To add on - pin the number so you can quickly text. When I’ve had to use it, officers responded quickly, and an officer has boarded the train car within a few stops to address the issue.
