Writer Alex O’Keefe shared a video last week of MTA police in New York placing him in handcuffs for alleged disorderly conduct, while warning his Instagram followers that “this country is growing more psycho by the day.”

O'Keefe, a speechwriter who was also a staff writer for the hit series “The Bear,” alleged in an Instagram post shared Thursday that police detained him on a New York train after an “old white woman” complained about how he was sitting. O’Keefe alleged in his Instagram caption and in video of his interaction with law enforcement that the woman took issue with the “one black person on the train.”
