Going off rails

Rider spews racist hate at black woman on LIRR

A RAGING white Long Island Rail Road rider called a Black woman on the train a “monkey” and spewed other vile racist comments at her because he felt she was talking too loudly on the commuter line, according to a recent video.

“You’re a loudmouth monkey motherf----r,” the man, sporting a crew cut and wearing a blue fleece hood, screamed in hard-fisted rage as he pointed his finger at the woman. “I can’t listen to your black ass no more.”

The man traveling on the 9:35 p.m. train from Penn Station to Long Beach continued to bitterly berate the omen sitting off-camera behind the man.

Another black woman gave it back to him, telling him to “shut the f--- up,” but never made any racial remarks.

“Oh, you loudmouth b----,” he said, to which the woman responded, “Like your mother.”

This set him off again, spitting obscenities and racist taunts.

“Do you know who your mother is,” he said. “You don’t know who your mother is because you’re a f------ monkey.”

Aneesa Janat Rafeek, who posted the video on Facebook last week, said the man stewed in his seat for a while before erupting.

“He started off by mumbling under his breath,” she wrote on Facebook. “Then escalated to yelling at her about being a loudmouth b----. When another young woman, also black, stood up for her, he continued to yell and call them monkeys.”

Rafeek, who was seated across the aisle and one seat in front of him, said the woman wasn’t talking loudly.

“An African-American woman was behind him speaking on the phone (not loudly in my opinion as I was sitting only diagonally from him and could not hear her).”

Rafeek said that the man continued, and got out of his seat to confront the woman.

“What this video does not show — him getting up to get in the young women's face to scream at her more,” she wrote. “It was honestly so disgusting to witness.”

According to Rafeek, the man was clearly the aggressor,. She said he also bothered a friend of hers.

“Say what you want in regards to ‘both’ sides being ignorant and needing to be quiet,” she wrote on Facebook. “Have someone start yelling profanities at you for being ‘loud’ and see how you react.”

Administrators at the commuter train service said they were appalled and are looking into the incident.

“This language is offensive, completely inappropriate, and has no place in our society, let alone on the Long Island Rail Road,” spokeswoman Nancy Gamerman said. “We are actively investigating this report.”
