A New York woman dubbed 'Citi Bike Karen' has seen herself accused of hijacking a rental bike from a young black man after a viral video surfaced that appears to show her yelling for help and crying after a tussle with the group.
But she is fighting back against what her lawyer calls a "shameful" painting of her as a "racist villain", and the incident has divided observers.
The woman, identified as Sarah Comrie, 36, a hospital worker, who is pregnant, was accused of "faking" her tears in the confrontation with the young Black men and playing on racist tropes of Black men threatening white women.
