A foul-mouthed flier unleashed on Eric Adams at an airport, prompting the former Big Apple mayor to snap “Go f–k yourself” and warn “You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me.”
The heated exchange, which was caught on video and posted to Reddit Tuesday, does not show what led up to the argument.
But at one point, the masked passenger tells Hizzoner, “Eric Adams, please punch me in the face. I would like if you punched me in the face.”
“Go f–k yourself…I’m not the mayor anymore,” Adams replied.
The pair got into it while getting off the flight in Dallas.
“You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me,” the former NYPD captain, 65, snaps as he leans into the woman on the skybridge – prompting the passenger to push him out of her way.
It’s not immediately clear why Adams was in Texas.
On Monday, the one-term mayor, who was born in Brownsville, was in Manhattan announcing his next gig — tackling antisemitism with cryptocurrency.
Adams speaking at a press conference in Times Square to launch his new NYC Token cryptocurrency on Jan. 12, 2026. James Keivom for NY PostReddit users were quick to react to the stunning footage.
“Did he just say ‘you’ll see the Brooklyn in me’? Ok, grandpa,” one wrote.
Adams responded the The Post’s story on X, simply writing: “Exactly.”
His spokesman Todd Shapiro noted that he’s “a private citizen and was harassed.”
“The clip is selectively edited, lacks critical context, and misrepresents what actually occurred,” he said without elaborating.
