New York can be a very stressful city to live in, and one woman’s recent freakout shows how people in the Big Apple can react in the most unexpected ways. This New York woman repeatedly slammed her phone against a car’s side mirrors near Central Park North and 110th Street, leaving the vehicle’s owners incredulous.
In the video, a woman can be seen using her smartphone like a hammer to smash a car’s side mirrors. After breaking one, she walks to the other side and does the same there. Meanwhile, the vehicle’s owners, who are filming the incident, appear stunned by what is happening and can be heard saying that she will be arrested for vandalizing their property, while she continues to ignore them and hit the vehicle. Two other women, likely accompanying her, stand outside the car and simply watch without intervening.
Unfortunately, the video lacks proper context that could help viewers understand the situation. After all, something the car’s owners did may have triggered the woman’s reaction. While that would not justify her actions, it could at least help explain why she behaved that way.
Social Media Users Condemned Actions of New York Woman
The most common reaction to the viral video was that the woman was entirely wrong in the way she freaked out, regardless of whether she had any understandable reasons for doing so: “Imagine being so unhinged over something that you destroy property.” Some viewers also said she should face consequences for acting so recklessly, with one commenting that “she needs to spend a night in jail to reflect on her behavior.”
Some social media users also found it hilarious that her phone appeared to be intact by the end of the footage. One person commented, “Good advertisement for the phone case if nothing else,” and multiple other viewers agreed.
Others pointed out how this kind of behavior can be harmful and should be avoided. One man, for example, said he had recently been working as a bouncer in New York City when he had to subdue a man. During the incident, the man’s girlfriend began hitting him on the back with a cellphone, leaving him “lumped up and bruised.”
