2:19Now PlayingA writer for Emmy-award-winning show “The Bear” was hauled off an MTA train in handcuffs for manspreading — which he tried to blame on an “old white lady” getting him arrested for the way he was sitting.
Alex O’Keefe — who has also been a speechwriter for Democratic Senators like. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey — claimed in a fiery social media post that he was forced off a Connecticut-bound MetroNorth train last week because he was “the one black dude on the train” from Grand Central.
However, MTA cops told The Post on Monday that a conductor had “reported a passenger occupying two seats had refused to remove his feet from one of the seats.”
