The attorney for the white New York City hospital worker who was accused of trying to take a rental bicycle from a Black man in a viral video says that the woman paid for the bike herself — and has the receipts to prove it.
A receipt shared with Insider shows payment for a Citi Bike on the app on the evening of May 12 in Manhattan; the bicycle was relocked to its dock a minute later with no charge logged.
The Citi Bike identification number in the viral video is the same as the one on the receipt, and the location matches the view seen in the video.
"It was her bike," the woman's lawyer, Justin Marino, said in an interview with Insider on Thursday.
Marino said that bike was pushed back into its docking station after the young Black man and his friends told the woman — a pregnant NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue staffer — that the man had already paid for the same bike.
"She had reserved it, and then they pushed the bike back into the docking station, preventing her from taking it out again," Marino told Insider.
Another receipt provided to Insider showed payment for a second Citi Bike taken from the same docking station one minute after the first bike was relocked. That receipt also showed a 25-minute trip that Marino said was his client's ride home after the incident.

Silly person, you know...we all know./sarc
Sort of like that classic from REO Speedwagon with the line:
“Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Said to another
You been messin around!”
Whitey deserves it!
Like YOU would really argue with a group of yutse if you were pregnant and tired.
She was RIGHT and had the receipts to back it up - WHY would anyone argue with a lying criminal bastard especially if you were tired after WORKING all day.
You really are hung up on why a PREGNANT WOMAN didn’t pick a fight with young black men.
You are either very stupid or a mama’s boy.
SHE. IS. PREGNANT. TIRED. AND. WORKED. ALL DAY AND THESE LYING BASTARDS INTENTIONALLY PICKED A FIGHT AND RECORDED IT TO PROVOKE A RACE WAR AGAINST A FREAKING PREGNANT WOMAN.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?????????????????????
But, but, but, she’s still white!
“I think a pregnant nurse just off a twelve hour shift would be highly likely to want to go through the hassle of stealing a bike from a “teen.” Pregnant nurses have an astronomically high crime rate, unlike “teens.”
I believe the teen, because lots of pregnant white women try to steal things from groups of Black teens.
Apparently there is a QR code scam for the bikes, don’t know if was.going on here.
Copy Bike A’s QR and put it on Bike B over the existing QR. A bike renter scans the code on Bike B but Bike A is the one unlocked, the scammer grabs it and rides away, the renter is liable for loss and damage.
What the Hell is wrong with you? Where were you on the original thread when this came out a few days ago? You come here after the fact when she has shown receipts, big deal. I’m simply saying she should have SPOKEN UP at the time and said she reserved the bike. You know, like defending yourself instead of being silent and looking goofy trying to take someone else’s bike? If that’s me, I’m telling the guy strongly I reserved this bike and then we figure out what’s what. She wasn’t there alone, she had several coworkers around. You’re acting all tough and certain that you knew it was her bike, when the video was not clear on that fact, at all.
If I were pregnant and had been involved in an altercation that was obviously racial and designed to do the most harm, I would NEVER go public and would hire legal representation - especially with all of the public wrath brewing. And she did speak up and tried to defend herself but was outgunned with those men who came looking for a fight with a vulnerable woman.
And I truly doubt that YOU would get involved in a gang of black men who were filming themselves attacking a white woman.
And why are you worried about where I was? Are you stalking me?
Should have said "...pregnant female nurse accused". So tired of race hustling. No man of any color should mess with a pregnant woman of any color like he did.
Are you happy now?
The PREGNANT woman is in hiding because of death threats!!!!!!
Don’t bother to respond. You are.
NO WOMAN should have to defend herself against a bunch of criminal feral.
You’re ridiculous. All she had to do was say “I reserved this bike” during the incident and none of this firestorm would’ve ever made the press. These bike apps bug out all the time so it’s always possible for two people to claim a bike. Work it out, show your phone, have the guy show his phone and move on. Or, just take the other bike like she eventually did. People need to be less helpless in these situations.
Has he provided a receipt?
I am just shocked at the number of people here who think an exhausted pregnant woman needs to confront a group of yutes to prove that she bought something.
There are several men here who keep posting to my posts insisting that a 6 month pregnant woman should get in a verbal confrontation with a group of belligerent men.
