Yes. I know several friends who were robbed and/or randomly physically attacked by gangs of other young people in our teens and early twenties. One was actually bear sprayed. Bear spray was a fairly common weapon in the late 90s, as anyone could buy it.
The c train specifically was always a slightly dangerous place to be as a young person late at night, for the specific reason that attacks by other young people could occur.
