Shocking video shows a New York City subway rider spraying an Asian man and yelling at him to move
As Asian Americans say they're experiencing more incidents of racism amid the coronavirus outbreak, a worrying video surfaced on Wednesday showing an Asian man being harassed on the New York City subway and being sprayed with a can of what appears to be Febreze.
Two videos showing the incident were posted on Facebook on Wednesday. The first showed a rider yelling at the Asian man and repeatedly ordering him to move. When people on the train asked the man why he was asking the stranger to get out of his way, the man shouted, "Because he's standing right f---ing next to me!"

It tells KATU News it received a number of calls from people concerned that people of Asian heritage could pass on the virus even if they aren't sick. The health department stresses that this isn't true, but Asian restaurants say they are feeling the impacts.
Pure Spice, a restaurant in Southeast Portland, says business has been slow ever since the outbreak began in China. Once people in Oregon tested positive for the virus, business has been at a standstill.
