Transit workers gathered outside the headquarters of their union, Transport Workers Union Local 100, on Tuesday to demand the ouster of a top official who allegedly assaulted a fellow member critical of the leadership.

TWU members descended on union HQ in Brooklyn Heights calling for the removal of Canella Gomez, a vice president in the Rapid Transit Operations department, who last month brawled with Tramell Thompson, a subway conductor and strident critic of union leadership.
