There’s a new twist in the viral Citi Bike confrontation that saw a New York City healthcare worker get into a heated argument with a group of young Black men: Her lawyer said she did pay for the bike, and has the receipts to prove it
But the young Black man standing next to her repeatedly tells her,"This is not your bike," stating that he just rented that Citi Bike as his friends stand beside him.While the video doesn’t show the young man touching her, it does show Comrie grabbing the young man’s phone. He immediately reaches for it and demands she return it — which is when she tells him he’s hurting her fetus.Eventually, a man also in scrubs inquired what was wrong.
While many blasted the hospital worker for potentially putting the young men’s safety at risk, her lawyer said Thursday that the entire incident is being taken out of context — and his client is being bombarded with threats. Freezing the now-viral video shows that the code on the bike she and the other man are feuding over reads 560-3915.
The lawyer also said his client has been heckled online for mentioning her unborn child, as well as the moment she starts to cry.
