The video shows a woman in Queens throwing an object, with an impact that sounded like shattered glass, at another woman jogging by. According to the CNN news report from 2020, the woman was identified as Lorena Delaguna and has been since charged with a hate crime and aggravated assault.

Along with the glass bottle being thrown, Delaguna allegedly yelled racial slurs at the jogger, including the N-word, and told her to “go back to Africa.”

In the comments section, users shared their thoughts on the racist confrontation.

“Maaan God just knows not to put me in these type of situations,” one user wrote.

“THERE WOULD BE BLONDE HAIR EVERYWHERE,” a third wrote.
