A disturbing video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked outrage after showing a Black woman appearing to spit on a White woman and her young child in a stroller while walking down a New York sidewalk. The 21-second clip, originally posted by the account @not_rekt_11, known as “Dark Side,” quickly went viral, racking up over 8 million views within a day.
In the footage, the woman is seen walking past the mother and child before suddenly leaning in and allegedly spitting on them without any apparent provocation. The mother recoils in shock and appears visibly shaken as she checks on her child.
The caption of the viral post reads, “A black woman spits on a white woman and her baby. You can’t convince me this is not pure hate…” a framing that immediately drew heated responses from all sides of the internet.
Viral Video Shows Woman Spitting On Mother And Child In New York, Sparks Outrage And Questions Online
Many commenters condemned the woman’s actions as disgusting and criminal. “Disgusting b-tch,” one user wrote, while another called her “pure trash.” Others were quick to point out that spitting on someone can be classified as assault under many legal statutes. “According to statute law, spitting on a person is simple assault and that lady should be identified, arrested and indicted for same,” one comment read. Another echoed that sentiment, saying, “Bodily fluids is a felony, isn’t it? Call the police, have her arrested.”
While the majority of comments focused on the act itself, others questioned how the moment was captured so clearly, suggesting the person behind the camera may have anticipated the incident. “Why was this video made?” one commenter asked. “How did this just happen to be filmed? Odd.”
No context has been provided regarding what happened before or after the incident, and the identity of the woman in question remains unknown as of publication. The video does not appear to show any physical retaliation from the mother, nor any immediate police involvement.
Given the nature of the act, particularly involving a child, several users have urged New York authorities to step in. So far, there has been no official response from law enforcement regarding the incident.
The video continues to circulate as debates rage online over race, motive, and whether the incident should be classified as a hate crime. Others have warned against drawing conclusions too quickly, urging viewers to wait for more information before escalating outrage or engaging in racial generalizations.
