Video of teen's Manhattan subway beatdown stokes outrage
Video posted to Instagram shows how the teen ended up on the bench. It's not clear if he was already on an A train and tried to get back on or was trying to board initially, but a girl hauls him off, yelling,"Walk!" With his sweatshirt clutched in both fists, she pushes him down the platform from behind. His face mask slips down to his chin.
A sea of apparent teenagers part to let the girl drag the victim through the aisle, as racial slurs spill from both sides. The boy tries to run at one point, and he's quickly caught. She grabs his sweatshirt from the front, by his neck, and starts dragging him down the platform behind her, yelling the whole time. He tries to get back on the train. She climbs on and starts punching him before hauling him off the train again -- as racist slurs fly all around them.
"I can’t even begin to explain how heartbroken, angry and disgusted I am at seeing this video. I don’t know what preceded this clip on that train, but I’m extremely hard-pressed to think of anything that justifies what takes place," the Instagram user wrote."It’s disappointing that this is still where we are in the world. People don’t even want to be on the trains at 3pm when the schools let out.
The user called the behavior depicted on the video a"sad state of affairs" and asked,"Is this really how we’re getting down uptown in 2023? 🤦🏽♂️💔" the user wrote, decrying the behavior seen on the footage as a"sad state of affairs."
