Fake. Wish this would stop being reposted.

Edit: it’s a less than 10 second video with multiple camera cuts in it, where someone else was filming the guy saying someone broke his glasses. The shot then quickly cuts to a perfect view of the woman, who doesn’t look at all like someone who just got pissed off and snapped someones’ glasses in half. None of the other riders look like any of what he claims to have happened just happened. The guy who posted the video has like 4 other videos posted before this one, and said he was trying to get a tiktok deal.

The video is a fake.
