One of the posts on the twitter thread said “they caught this man trying to rape a girl on the subway.”
who knows if that is true.
Highly unlikely that it’s true. If anything happened, it’s that he “dissed” a woman there by trying to push by her.
Or that nothing happened at all, and now these thugs have discovered that the thing to do is to claim to be in the right. Also, who knows who took the video...this person may have been a friend of the thugs.
In this case, it’s very likely they had a reason. From the article at the link:
In that video, someone can be heard shouting at the man: “You touching girls, you touching girls — little sisters and all that, moms and everything. You filthy, son.”
One of the men who slapped the straphanger can be heard saying that he has a daughter before his hand makes contact with the man’s face.
“I got a daughter,” he said. “If the cops lock me up, I’m paying my own bail.”
Police said late Sunday that they are investigating the incident.
