“#Maskless subway ‘jerk’ tangles with female NYC straphanger<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a rail \u201cjerk!\u201d<\/p>\n

An unmasked straphanger berated an older woman on a Q train in an app<\/a>arent dispute over his lack of a face covering, according to video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish the police would come and give you a $50 fine,\u201d the woman can be heard telling the man at the outset of the undated video, which was filmed by an Instagram user<\/a> and posted to the site Monday.<\/p>\n

Masks are required on public transit by federal law. In New York, refusing to mask-up on MTA trains and buses is a $50 violation.<\/p>\n

The man replies with a mocking squeal as he leans over the lady, \u201cI\u2019m so afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman replies, \u201cPlease get away from me, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

This spurs her adversary to chant, \u201c1776!\u201d for the year America was founded.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespect your elders!\u201d she fires back, to which he replies, \u201cI respect freedom!\u201d<\/p>\n

MTA Acting Chairman Janno Lieber on Monday called the man \u201ccompletely out of line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is outrageous. No. 1, the guy is a jerk. Every New Yorker who gets on the subway knows one of the first principles is you treat other people respectfully,\u201d Lieber said when asked about the video during an unrelated press conference in The Bronx. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an incredible, egregious violation of basic human respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The MTA\u2019s most recent survey of subway mask usage, conducted July 26 to Aug. 6, found that 14 percent of riders were not wearing face coverings, according to the authority\u2019s Web site \u2014 up from just 2 percent in surveys conducted in March, April and May.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had great success with mask compliance,\u201d Lieber insisted. \u201cWe\u2019re going to make sure that mask compliance happens. We\u2019re not going to yield any ground to people who want to bring whatever political ideology or theory they have \u2026 into our system.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
