Pregnant White Woman Harassed By Black Men Over Rental Bike, Shows Receipt Proving She Paid For It: Viral Clip

A 90 second video that recently circulated online shows a pregnant white woman screaming out loudly for "help" in New York City. The clip shared on Twitter by @Imposter_Edits begins with the woman yelling out, "Help me! Help me! Please, help me!" as she cries and grips the handlebars of a Citi Bike that is also being held by a young black man.

"This is not your bike," the black man and his pals tell the woman as they stand by the Citi Bike docking station in Manhattan.

"Please help me, help! Please get off me," the woman again loudly screams.

Moments later, pregnant woman begs the man, "Get off me. Get off me. You are hurting my fetus," as they both continue to hold on to the Citi Bike.

"This is my bike. It's on my account. Please move," the black man apparently lies to the woman.

The woman eventually agreed to take another Citi Bike after a man wearing hospital scrubs intervenes in the situation, the footage shows.

Left-wing media outlets falsely portrayed the story as a white 'racist' woman 'Karen' that tried to take a rental bicycle from a young black man who said that he already paid for the two-wheeler. 'Weaponized racism' even trended on social media after the video surfaced.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue apparently believing the media narrative, initially addressed the situation in a statement on Twitter on Sunday saying: "We have recently become aware of an incident that occurred off-campus over the weekend and appears to involve one of our employees... We are sorry this happened and we are reviewing the incident." And then the usual woke virtue-signaling by the hospital that it is "committed to providing the highest quality of care to all New Yorkers with dignity, cultural sensitivity and compassion."

A spokesperson for the New York City public hospital system reportedly confirmed later in a statement that the pregnant woman in the video works for NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and is currently "out on leave."

"We are aware of the video involving a health care provider off duty and away from the hospital campus. The incident in the video is disturbing," the NYC Health + Hospitals spokesperson said. 

The spokesperson added, "The provider is currently out on leave and will remain on leave pending a review. As a health system we are committed to providing an environment for our patients and staff that is free from discrimination of any kind."

The true story is finally being reported. The woman's lawyer Justin Marino said Thursday that she had paid for the bike herself, showing Citi Bike receipts from the location. The lawyer said the New York City hospital worker has been receiving death threats, and her life has been "effectively destroyed" by false allegations amplified by media outlets.

Marino reportedly shared a receipt with media which shows payment for a Citi Bike on the app on the evening of May 12 in Manhattan; the bicycle was relocked to its dock a minute later with no charge logged.

The Citi Bike identification number in the viral video is the same as the one on the receipt, and the location matches the view seen in the video.

Marino reportedly explained that bike was pushed back into its docking station after the young black man and his friends told the pregnant woman that the man had already paid for the same bike.

"She had reserved it, and then they pushed the bike back into the docking station, preventing her from taking it out again," Marino reportedly said. Another receipt showed payment for a second Citi Bike taken from the same docking station one minute after the first bike was relocked. That receipt also showed a 25-minute trip that the lawyer said was his client's ride home after the incident.

Marino said that his client was a healthcare "hero" who worked during the coronavirus pandemic but was made out to be a "racist villain" because of "a tiny snippet of a video."

"I'm hoping the employer will not violate her rights and will do what's right and bring her back at some point," the lawyer said, adding that his client was planning to sue "against individuals and media organizations who defamed her."

Outraged critics on social media also slammed the media for smearing the pregnant woman by spreading a divisive and racist anti-white narrative based on online viral clip, instead of finding out and reporting the facts surrounding the incident.

Many critics online also lamented that the true story and corrections will never be as widely reported as the initial fake story and left-wig media narrative about the incident.
