Eric Adams Tells Off Airline Passenger in Viral Jet-Bridge Confrontation in Dallas

Adams later amplified the mid-argument clip, which his spokesman labels selectively edited.

Overview

  • A short video posted to Reddit shows the former New York City mayor trading insults on a Dallas jet bridge, telling a masked passenger to “go f**k yourself” and saying, “You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me.”
  • The recording begins mid-dispute with no clear trigger; the woman taunts Adams to punch her before she appears to push past him as passengers exit.
  • The witness who filmed the encounter told ABC7 they started recording after Adams allegedly threatened to punch the woman because she booed him.
  • Adams reposted coverage of the incident with the single word “Exactly,” and spokesman Todd Shapiro said he is a private citizen who was harassed and that the circulating clip lacks critical context.
  • No law-enforcement action has been reported and the footage shows no sustained physical assault; the viral moment follows Adams’ recent rollout of the NYC Token cryptocurrency, which drew sharp online criticism.
