A viral video filmed on a New York City subway platform appears to show a woman becoming furious with police after they told her to put her e-cigarette away and asked her to show her ID.
The undated footage was recorded at an above-ground subway station in Brooklyn, according to the Instagram account that shared it.
In the 45-second video, the unidentified woman clenches her fists, screams at the police, waves her hands and stamps her feet.

The woman, who was carrying a Goyard bag that appeared to be worth more than $1,600 and wearing designer sneakers, cursed two NYPD officers and told them she didn’t have an ID.
The police are not heard, but one of them has his back to the camera and appears to be trying to explain something while speaking and gesturing.
“I don’t have my ID on me, what on earth do you want me to do?” she asked, then clenched her fists and yelled at the officer: “I don’t have an ID.”

She then began cursing at him and he pushed her back, prompting more shouting.
Two officers put her hands behind her back and searched her bag after she screamed that one of them was a “bastard.”
“What the hell are you doing?” she asked as they tied her arms behind her back. “Why did you do this to me?”
Then, before the video ends, an officer reaches into her bag and pulls out something – possibly an ID card.
