Alex O'Keefe, a former speech writer for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), claims that he was arrested on a train after a white woman complained about how he was sitting. 

According to ABC News, police were called for a “disorderly passenger” on a train at Fordham Metro-North station in the Bronx when "a conductor reported a passenger occupying two seats had refused to remove his feet from one of the seats." 

O’Keefe, who is Black, posted a video of the incident on social media, Thursday, in which he claims that a white woman wanted him to change how he was sitting, and when he refused, she called the police. 

"I was arrested on the @MTA train to Connecticut today, pulled off, handcuffed, and detained," O'Keefe said in a statement on social media. "An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused, so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train."

In a statement issued by police to ABC News, O’Keefe refused officers' orders to exit the train. When O’Keefe tried to explain his position, he was promptly handcuffed and escorted off the train. Officials told ABC News that O’Keefe was never placed under arrest.  

"You're going to arrest the one Black dude on the train because this white woman said she didn't like the way I was sitting on the train," O’Keefe can be heard saying while focusing his camera on an older white woman. 

O’Keefe, a former writer on the FX show "The Bear," claims that the woman he believes reported him to police told him, "You're not the minority anymore."

"The police told me to leave the train, I refused and asked what was I doing illegally," he said in his social media post. "They said I was disturbing the peace by not leaving the train. They pulled me off the train and arrested me without even talking to the Karen who reported the one black person on the train."

MTA police claim that they asked O’Keefe to leave the train and that he would be able to get on another train.

"When he continued to refuse to exit, delaying service for several hundred other riders for six minutes, the passenger involved was handcuffed and removed from the train, where he was issued a summons for disorderly conduct, a violation, without further incident at approximately 1048 hours, and allowed to board the next train to complete his trip," MTA police told ABC News.

MTA told the news station that rules of conduct state that a passenger must only occupy one seat and could be subject to a $50 fine for occupying more than one seat. 

"This country is growing more psycho by the day,” O'Keefe said in a social media post.

 “What will you do about it?"
