The woman refused to do this, called the police and threatened to report that an African American man was threatening her life. The video has been viewed more than 28 million times.
The police confirmed that the “oral argument” had taken place. There have been no warnings and no one has been arrested. The video shows “Racism, very simple,” commented New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio. “She has the police called because he was a black man. Even if she was the one who broke the rules. She decided he was a criminal and we know why. This kind of hatred has no place in our city. “
The woman’s employer, an investment company, announced that she had been released. The woman apologized, but rejected all allegations of racism. “It was unacceptable and I humbly and completely apologize.”
