i've ridden that train line more times than i can count.
i can't say what i've have done had this happened near me--i've stopped things like this (not involving a hammer) before, but i didn't really think about it before i acted.
i can say that some yahoo with a gun would be a much bigger and dangerous problem than a guy wielding a hammer, and that the pulling of a gun, even in order to stop something like this, would freak me out FAR more than this would have.
i see no reason to carry a concealed weapon on a crowded subway in a city.
i've lived in cities a long time--seeing someone with a gun DOES NOT make me think "safety"...
