*Cops are investigating a disturbing video of a man on a New York City subway spraying Febreze at an Asian passenger in an incident being investigated as a coronavirus-related hate crime.
The 35-second clip, first posted to Facebook, shows the man on an N train in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, yelling at the victim to “move” at around 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the New York Post. When another woman off camera asked why the man should move, he shouted, “Because he’s standing right f–king next to me! … Tell him to move. Tell him to move.”
The man later grabbed a bottle of Febreze air freshener that he just so happened to have in his bag and began spraying in the Asian rider’s direction.
A second video posted to Facebook,, apparently after the incident, shows the Asian man asking the sprayer, “Why can’t I sit next to you?” A woman drags him away as the sprayer repeatedly tells him “You better move – you’re being dumb right now. You’re being dumb.” Police responded to a 911 call for the incident but the train had already left the station.
