This is from a tabloid (Daily Mirror). Remember to always be cautious of contextless screen caps of what appear to be news articles. 🙏

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

K, Sorry for not leaving the source

Thanks for the source. From what I could find the story only shows up on tabloids (of which the NY Post is also one). Rage bait is a huge business interest for them, even more so than legitimate newspapers.

Shit. Didn't know that this was actually a clickbait. Thanks for info!
