'Do You Want to Kill Me?': Man Harasses Couple Wearing Masks on New York Subway in Apparent Coronavirus-Related Racism
Two commuters wearing masks on the New York City subway were subjected to what appeared to be an incident of coronavirus-related racism at Times Square Station on March 13.
The perpetrator appeared to harass the pair of commuters on the subway platform, at one point saying, “you want to f****** kill me?”
A man had been seen in the video attempting to help the pair leave the platform safely.
The person who filmed the video did not know what provoked the incident.
New York Mayor Andrew Cuomo announced on March 12 that gatherings of 500 people or more would be not permitted in the city from March 13. New York has been in a State of Emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic, since March 7. Credit: xavi_ocean via Storyful
