NYPD cop shoves ‘fare-beating’ teen out of subway station in video

An NYPD officer was caught on tape repeatedly shoving a teen girl, who allegedly jumped a turnstile, as she attempted to walk through an open emergency exit gate — eventually pushing her out to the street.

The footage posted to Twitter on Thursday night starts in the middle of the confrontation with the officer, who blocks the teen’s path as teen claims that other straphangers were allowed to walk through.

“I allowed them, they didn’t jump the turnstile,” the officer says before approaching the girl and pushing her back through the gate. “Please don’t touch me,” the teenager says.

“Then walk out,” the cop repeatedly responds.

The standoff between the teen and the cop Wednesday afternoon at the Avenue M stop in Midwood escalates as the officer continues to ask the girl leave — then shoves her out of the station.

“Listen! Don’t touch me!” the girl screams. “Are you serious? I’m trying to go home! You’re saying I can’t go home? Are you insane?”

The cop then threatens to arrest the girl, who responds: “You’re going to arrest me for trying to go home? I’m not doing anything.”

The video ends with the officer informing the teen she “is no longer welcome in the subway.”

In a statement, the NYPD claimed that the video does not show the full context.

“The female attempted to jump the turnstile. The officer then approached her and instructed her to enter properly by swiping her MetroCard. She refused and was physically removed from the station. No summons was issued,” the department said.

New York City school students receive MetroCards at the beginning of each semester to ride the subway and bus for free on weekdays.

It was not immediately clear why the emergency gate was open that day.

However, students who spoke to The Post station Friday said it was “always” open for them to pass through without penalty.

A clerk at the Avenue M station said, “Students are given a card by their school to ride the subway. If they don’t have that card, they’re not getting in.”

Justin Caceres, a 17-year-old student at Edward R. Murrow High School, said incidents like the one of the video happen often.

“Police are always checking in on us. This happens all the time, but if you don’t have your card, and you show your student ID, you can get in no problem,” he said.

“There are some cops that are nice, but that cop was in a bad mood or something,” he added. “They think they have a lot of power as a police officer, and they can step over the line, and that’s not good for us.”

The video is the latest in a series of taped confrontations between police and subway riders accused of farebeating — which sparked outrage among the city’s progressive politicos — and comes just days after protestors in an anti-cop rally encouraged riders to evade the fares.

On Friday, Mayor Bill de Blasio told Hot97 host Ebro Darden that “something’s off” in the video.

“On the one hand, if it began with the young woman not paying her fare, I don’t like that, I’m not going to lie about that, I don’t like that,” Hizzoner said. “I want people to pay their fares and be respectful [to] an officer if an officer questions you.”

“On the other hand, our officers more and more are being trained to not escalate, to deescalate,” he added. “Something’s off in that video, obviously.”
