New Yorkers are facing a harsh winter, and as if the snow were not annoying enough, an individual has been driving around at night, spraying an unknown liquid on innocent pedestrians. Footage of this incident, recorded by the individual himself, enraged people in New York City, as many viewers considered the behavior completely unhinged.
In a video shared on social media, an individual can be seen spraying people in New York City. The short clip shows several victims, all unaware of what is happening until they are sprayed in the face while the driver imitates gunshot sounds. Most people have no time to react, as the person quickly speeds up the car and leaves the scene.
According to the person who posted the video on Reddit, the locations featured in the clips resemble the streets of Queens, including places such as Jackson Heights, Corona Avenue, and Roosevelt Avenue.
Concerningly, no one knows whether this person was spraying only water on pedestrians or something else entirely. It’s also unknown whether this individual did it only a few times and posted the clips on social media, or if he is still targeting people in the streets of New York City.
Mysterious Driver Upsets New Yorkers
Footage of these incidents enraged local New Yorkers, who were already tired of facing the cold without some heartless individual spraying liquids on their faces. What irritated most folks was how gratuitous and unexpected the attacks were: “People are anxious enough in this era to not need further worry about what was just randomly sprayed at them when they’re merely out in public.”
Some people thanked the Reddit user who posted the footage, saying, “Thank you for your public service. I really personally appreciate it when we warn each other as a community about unhinged individuals.”
While some commenters wanted to see the individual’s face, as the original poster claimed to know who they were, others thought that this case should be handled by the local authorities: “Report him to the police, please. Don’t post this on Reddit.”
Others said that they would react if this happened to them, and one social media user even warned, “Do this to the wrong person, and you will end up dead.”
