MIAMI-DADE, Fla. -

A 82-year-old woman was forcibly removed from a Miami-Dade Metrorail train for singing during her ride.

Emma Anderson was sitting in a seat on the train and singing a spiritual hymn when a private security guard approached.

The guard, hired by the transit system, first told the woman she was being disruptive.

"I was beating my little beads with the bottle and I was singing a song, and he came up to me and said, 'Ma'am, you're making too much noise,'" Anderson said.

A passenger recorded the exchange on his cell phone. On the video, you can see the security guard grab Anderson's bag. She clings tightly onto her bag and is ultimately pulled from her seat.

"He said, 'You gotta get off this train,'" said Anderson.

The confrontation turned dramatic as the security guard is heard telling Anderson to leave.

"He snatched so hard until I fell. I fell backwards," said Anderson.

Several witnesses said they were shocked by what they saw: an elderly woman knocked to the ground. One of the witnesses demanded the name of the security guard.

"When I look at them snatching my 82-year-old mother up off that Metrorail, it's disgusting to me", said Donald Anderson, Emma's son.

Karla Damian, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade Transit released a statement about the Feb. 20 incident.
