Screengrab

New York: An Indian-origin girl has shared a video in which a man is seen hurling abuses at her in New York train.

The video was shared by Ekta Desai, who works as a physiotherapist in New York, on February 21 on Facebook.

“So this is something that happened while I was on my way from work today!! This man was on the same PATH train as me along with 100 other passengers, I had my headphones on and was like any other day. Next thing I know he is yelling on my face (Did not bother to listen/react). Knowing it’s pointless I step away, next target alongside an Asian lady!” she wrote.

“Not sure the cops found him or even took any action, though they showed up 15 mins after all this drama and he walked away with his friends!”

The video has gained traction after the killing of Indian techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla at a bar in the US.

Watch the video:

Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, was killed and his colleague Alok Madasani was injured when US Navy veteran Adam W Purinton fired at them at the Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe in Kansas City on February 22, in an apparent hate crime.

Purinton reportedly got into an argument with the two and hurled racial slurs.

He yelled "get out of my country" before shooting them.
