    "Tik Tok Users" is a weird way to spell "women".
  • @Floppytots
    “What do we know about this so far?” It was black people.
  • @theotheleo6830
    "Violent crime is down" Hmm...per this report, the NYPD charged the suspect with harassment instead of assault, so perhaps that has something to do with the reduction in violent crime stats.
  • My introduction to NYC in 1983 was getting punched in the face by teenagers in broad daylight rush hour, long before cell phones, nothing new here folks.
  • @brock83995
    Imagine getting punched and not calling the cops and then going online to post it lmfao grow tf up
  • @ChorizoCentauri
    "Be vigilant while walking in the city", how vigilant can anyone be while walking and TikToking?
  • @GazzaBoo
    Is it “those guys” doing the punching?

    Every one has a plan until they get punched in the face - Mike Tyson
  • @Necromonger69
    Brooklyn black man arrested. No surprise they didn't mention that I figured I would
  • @nedflanders5649
    Why would you be embarrassed to say you got punched in the face? How dare you call out a black man
  • @akyak333
    did she actually say "Violent crime is down" lol
  • @donbsea
    How would someone on the sidewalk know if you're a TikTok "user"? Is it just anyone that's on their smart phone while walking down the street? What am I missing?
  • @edwardpardy7866
    Then start paying attention to where you are walking and making a nuisance of yourself. These idiots who think they are ''influencers'' need a reality check on the world around them. I'm tired of THEM WALKING INTO ME.
  • @timlovick87
    Oh so only tiktok users are being punched? Is this the new trend? 🤔
  • @devolutioninc
    Doing tilt ok on the streets is getting you punched. Good times.
  • @lauren6509
    These men are unhinged stay vigilant ladies.
  • @michaelduran926
    They say violent crime is down and then will say mass shootings are sky rocketing. They pick and choose depending on what fits their narrative at that moment.
