Play stupid games, win stupid prizes right? A Bellevue Hospital employee went viral Sunday when she was recorded screaming ‘help’ at the top of her lungs while attempting to take a CitiBike from a black guy.
In the video both the woman and the guy are both holding on to the bike, but he says that he had already paid for the bike on his account.
The woman can be seen grabbing his phone and yelling then she starts to cry when her co-worker seemingly intervenes.
The co-worker suggests that the black guy cancels the bike from his account, but he and his friend stand their ground.
Watch:
After the video made it’s rounds, people started to tag the woman’s place of employment and now they have made a statement.

People are are calling for her removal.
“Review” seems so non-chalant for how dangerous and wrecks less this actually is. Let’s put some actual terms to it.
1. Theft: She didn’t just try to steal his bike. She tried to steal his money by undocking a bike “he” already paid for. Hence why she took his phone so he could…

Weaponizing these tears trying to get these young black boys hurt. Shameful. I can just imagine the subpar care she gives her black patients if this is how she behaves. Handle this. pic.twitter.com/KixCer99VV

I will definitely be looking for an update within the next few days. If you think that saying “you are reviewing the incident” is enough it’s not! Also it doesn’t “APPEAR” to involve one of your employees… YOUR EMPLOYEE WAS THE MAIN CHARACTER ! @BellevueHosp

Your employee only calmed down and complied when a person in her culture told her to.
Is this how your clinical staff treats patients who are not of the same culture?
She cannot be trusted with patients of different cultures…she is capable of lying and stealing.— Black American Families PAC (@b1ackfamilyPAC) May 14, 2023

People are reporting the employee is a pediatrician.
If that is true, I worry about the Black children in her care. The Black man in the video, looks like he could be a teen. She knew she was wrong. She removed her name badge to avoid being detected and reported.— Lily Crue (@LilyCrue) May 14, 2023

There’s a nurse shortage so doubtful she’ll be reprimanded in a serious way. Learn her name & face & when you go into the hospital & she is who approaches you, IMMEDIATELY request another practitioner. Add fake tears like hers if you have to. That’s when Bellevue will act

When you say "appears to involve", do you think the fact that she is wearing one of your uniforms and was initially wearing accompanying employee ID a sufficient clue, or are you casting doubt on her being your employee?
