NY hospital employee on leave following controversial Citi Bike incident

A New York City hospital employee was placed on leave after a viral video appearing to show her trying to take a rental bike from a group of young Black men garnered millions of views online. The incident, which was first posted to Twitter on Saturday, appears to show a white woman in NYC Health + Hospitals scrubs arguing with a young man over a Citi Bike that he says he has already rented. The woman was not identified by Bellevue Hospital, which is operated by NYC Health + Hospitals. The video had been viewed on Twitter more than 40 million times by Wednesday afternoon, with many social media users pointing out the risk placed on the young Black men being accused of wrongdoing in situations involving white women.
