WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams<\/a> told a woman, who allegedly booed and harassed him, to \u201cgo f\u2013k yourself\u201d while they were exiting a flight.<\/p>\n

A 30 second video posted to Reddit showed a woman wearing a N-95 mask asking Adams to punch her in the face.<\/p>\n

\u201cEric Adams, please punch me in the face. I would like it if you punched me in the face,\u201d the woman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo f*** yourself I\u2019m not the mayor anymore,\u201d Adams said, walking a few steps behind the woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cOk, you can get f***** too,\u201d the woman said. She proceeded to raise her middle finger in the air at him as Adams walked past her.<\/p>\n

Adams then turned around to face her, and attempted to block her walking path.<\/p>\n

“You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

The video did not show the beginning of the altercation between the pair, who just returned to New York from Dallas.<\/p>\n

The anonymous Reddit poster, who claimed to have recorded the video alleges that the woman recognized Adams and proceeded to boo.<\/p>\n

The New York Post first reported on the Reddit video. Adams responded to an X post of the story by writing \u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd Shapiro, Adams\u2019 spokesperson told the Post that the video posted \u201cis selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams, who faced federal corruption charges which were later dropped by the Trump administration, dropped out of the mayoral race in late September last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

As for his latest endeavor, Adams launched on Monday his plans to combat antisemitism with cryptocurrency through \u201cNYC Token.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams told a woman, who allegedly booed and harassed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3862,98,10525,81,46056,46057,9,24,55,54,56,46058],"class_list":{"0":"post-100438","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-antisemitism","9":"tag-brooklyn","10":"tag-cryptocurrency","11":"tag-eric-adams","12":"tag-flight-confrontation","13":"tag-heckler","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-new-york-city-headlines","17":"tag-new-york-city-news","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-verbal-altercation"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
