A man has gone viral after being caught on camera physically harassing an elderly woman for wearing a mask on a train in New York. In the video, witnesses just watch as the man screams at the woman standing over her, screaming 1776, the year when the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. The woman then says "respect your elders" as he tells her to "take a seat" and "I respect freedom."
When the camera man and another person tries to confront the man for his treatment of the elderly woman, this thug then aggressively tells them again "he respects freedom, sit the f*ck down."
The video has now gone viral with social media on a man hunt attempting to name this thug and identify his place of employment.
