A former “American Idol” contestant held his ground after being “attacked” by a disgruntled straphanger and won over a car full of straphangers on the A train in Manhattan, a viral video showed. Shane Dan Turner, 31, was busking between 125th Street and Columbus Circle Wednesday afternoon when a woman who claimed her ears were too sensitive for his music grabbed his tip money and drowned him out with her own loud wailing, according to the clip. “That was me being attacked by a mentally ill woman,” Turner said as he reshared the clip with an explainer at the end of it. "Thank you to the other riders who came to my defense, especially the woman who yelled at the crazy person in this video to get an access-a-ride. Btw, the crazy person was responsible for wrecking my confidence the rest of the day, but seeing this video go viral and all the commenters come to my defense made it worth it!"
