Woman seen lifting her hand to slap NYPD cop as she throws epic tantrum on New York subway platform
A woman who was reprimanded by the NYPD for alleged fare evasion and vaping at a subway stop threw an epic tantrum when police asked for her ID.
The irate passenger was filmed shouting at officers and even appeared to try to punch one of their hands away during the tense standoff.
The clip begins midway through the confrontation, with the woman staring open-mouthed as police try to talk to her at what is believed to be a stop in Brooklyn.
“I don’t have any ID,” she tells them, holding what looks like a $2,000 Goyard bag.
As the officer continues to talk to her, she begins to raise her voice and becomes more and more agitated.

“I just told you I don’t have an ID, so what do you want me to do? I don’t have an ID!’ She screams as she gestures in the officer’s face before calling him a ‘f***king b****’.
The officer pushes her on the shoulder in an attempt to force her backwards, causing an even bigger explosion.
“Bro!” She screams, raising her hand as if to slap his away, “Don’t fucking push me back.”
The officer continues to speak to her unintelligibly, but she cannot manage it. She gets angry for the second time.
“I don’t care, get out of my way!” She screams as she stomps her foot on the ground and bangs her fists like a toddler in a tantrum.
She keeps her mouth shut, calls the officer a “bastard” and waves her arms wildly.
Finally, the officers decide they’ve had enough and each grabs her by one of her arms.
They quickly handcuffed her, prompting disbelief from the now humiliated woman.

“What the hell are you doing?” she asks as they start to search her bag and pull out what looks like a wallet.
‘Why are you arresting me? Who cares,” she whines.
Under MTA rules, vaping is not allowed anywhere on the premises, even at outdoor stations.
The exchange has divided opinion on Instagram, where it was first posted, but many have condemned the woman’s behavior.
‘Luckily there are still officers who do not tolerate people like this woman. There is hope,” one person wrote.
“It’s ridiculous that you’re entitled to it,” another added.
“Thank God there are still officers who won’t tolerate people like this woman. There is hope,” one user commented.
The altercation ended with the angry passenger being handcuffed
However, many accused the police of escalating the situation and questioned why they chose to attack her.
“The police will not arrest people who attack the elderly and innocent people, but they will abuse their power against someone who smokes an e-cigarette,” said one person.
“He didn’t actually have to lay hands on her,” another agreed.
