Disturbing footage of a woman (violently) prancing through the streets of New York City has gone viral. While it’s difficult to discern why the individual finds herself running through the streets, banging on taxi cabs and calling out offensive names, the sight is certainly fascinating — to they the least.
The incident, which Gawker claims took place on 6th and 22nd in Manhattan, shows the woman kicking vehicles, while yelling out nonsensical statements over and over again. At some points, the clip appears to show the individual in physical danger, as she positioned herself in the middle of the road, blocking moving traffic.
While berating drivers and assaulting their vehicles, she repeatedly yelled, “Sorry! I forgot” (it’s not clear what, exactly, she was referring to).
And during the most bizarre moments in the clip, the woman opened up a taxi cab’s trunk, took a wheel chair out and put it on the ground (around the 2:30 mark). Naturally, a crowd was watching the meltdown unfold.
Watch the odd video, below: (caution: offensive language):
Another person who was at the scene caught the same incident from a different angle, Gothamist writes. See that video, below:

Sep. 7, 2012 at 12:58pmOrdinarily, I would agree with your sentiment about doing nothing, but in this case, what would you propose they do? She is obviously beyond reasoning with, and anyone attempting to restrain her physically would be inviting any number of negative repercussions, from being maced, tazed, or run over to being sued.
She was obviously on some kind of drugs, and I have no doubt that police were already on their way.
Hope that outfit she was wearing was made out of kevlar, since NYC’s finest have recently shown they are trigger-happy as hell when it comes to unarmed civilians.

Sep. 7, 2012 at 1:34pmAnd just what are they supposed to do? Most women would be afraid to confront her for fear of getting attacked. Most men wouldn’t touch her for fear of being arrested for assault and battery. What’s left? Wait for the police to show up, and make sure you record it all to give them the evidence. And that’s exactly whay everyone did.

Sep. 7, 2012 at 1:48pmSchizophrenia maybe? Someone should have arm-locked her and dragged her to the sidewalk for her own safety, but it’s likely someone would have blamed and attacked the guy trying to help her. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
I did something everyone said I was crazy for, but then everyone said I was like a superhero too. LOL A bar fight – 2 baseball teams – about 8 or 10 people were fighting but I figured out which one started the fight by watching their behavior and I snuck up behind him and locked his arms to his side and pinned him against a wall until the police showed. Half the bar said I was nuts and the bartender said, “You drink for free tonight. That was amazing.”

Sep. 7, 2012 at 3:32pmAs our immigration laws are tailored to favor 3rd world debris American cities with large immigrant populations do not represent the rest of the country. Immigrants used to come here for the opportunity to be free and succeed, now they come to live off the rest of us.
No idea who or what this moron is but maybe the commies who insisted on closing more of our rubber rooms should be taken to task.

Sep. 8, 2012 at 8:16pm@WHOOL-FREE-VISION: OMG look! Someone with a brain! You seem to be one of the only ones with one WHOOL. If I was that taxi in the beginning of that first video I probably would’ve gotten out grabbed her and threw her to the side. I’m very honest too, if she gets in someone else’s way that’s their problem.

Sep. 10, 2012 at 11:14amYoung liberals think they own the world while most contribute nothing to the upkeep. He ought to bump her out of the way. She is acting out the spoiled brat mentality so many of our youth display. Her parents probably did not believe in using the rod to teach her manners. I’ve seen them in every city; but, mostly in large, liberal areas. She is a symptom of the decay in our society.

Sep. 7, 2012 at 12:02pmA couple hundred people standing around watching and recording another obviously troubled person putting themselves and others in harms way and nothing at all of substance is done by any of them to take control of the situation. They are all fine with watching another human be hit by a vehicle but my guess is if it was a puppy they’d shut down the street and go get it.
In my opinion New Yorkers are pathetic, shallow, selfish and uncaring drones.

Sep. 7, 2012 at 12:33pmMany times bystanders’ hesitation to assist, for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death
So are you in favor of the “” Good Samaritan law” ………..>
“In some jurisdictions, unless a caretaker relationship (such as a parent-child or doctor-patient relationship) exists prior to the illness or injury, or the “good Samaritan” is responsible for the existence of the illness or injury, no person is required to give aid of any sort to a victim. Good Samaritan statutes in the states of Minnesota and Vermont do require a person at the scene of an emergency to provide reasonable assistance to a person in need.”
“”This assistance may be to call 9-1-1. Violation of the duty-to-assist subdivision is a petty misdemeanor in Minnesota and may warrant a fine of up to $100 in Vermont.”"

Sep. 7, 2012 at 12:43pmOOOOOPS…..i should have started with the complete paragraph …my bad …
” Good Samaritan laws are laws or acts in some cases obliging people to give reasonable assistance to those who are injured, ill, in peril, or otherwise incapacitated (duty to rescue)[1], and in all cases protecting people who do so against legal action[1]. The protection is intended to reduce bystanders’ hesitation to assist, for fear of being sued or prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death. ///
sorry about that

Sep. 7, 2012 at 1:34pmLegal and Illegal do not determine moral or immoral. For us to be moral we may have to do the illegal thing. Obviously this woman is lucky she wasn’t lethally injured. Had she been, the immoral action of everyone around her not subduing this obviously troubled woman would rightfully have guilt upon their conscious. Their inaction, and their lust for tragedy, are exactly what’s wrong with big city America. The cars driving by could have stopped, and waited for this woman to calm down before opening traffic back up to potentially kill her. Ahh, but this is New York, the city that never stops for anyone. Pathetic trash is what this shows. The entire f’ing city should be ashamed. It’s sickening how we’ve let ourselves become so morally bankrupt. The nudges have worked.
