A shocking video capturing an Xfinity worker being assaulted by a woman while installing a cable has gone viral. As the caption explains, the incident took place after months of a bitter standoff between the woman and her neighbor, with the woman allegedly blocking access to the property for cable installation.
The video shows the worker attempting to install the cable using a ladder that, while not on her property, slightly leans over her porch. This minor intrusion triggered the woman, who can be seen furiously yelling at both the worker and the man recording the situation, “Get off of my property!” Despite the worker’s calm demeanor, things escalated when the woman retreated into her house, returning with a can of mace. She then sprayed both the Xfinity technician and the man filming, causing chaos as they scrambled to protect themselves.
Reddit users have been quick to express their disbelief, with many questioning why the police werenโt involved earlier. One commenter wrote, “Why didn’t they call the police the second she came out with a knife?” referring to an earlier part of the altercation that allegedly involved the woman brandishing a knife, though the weapon isnโt visible in the video.
As the Xfinity technician bears the brunt of the attack, another user humorously quipped,
“Dude on the ladder was WAY more chill about getting sprayed than I would have been. Hope he gets Employee of the Month or something.”
The workerโs professionalism under duress has sparked widespread support, with many calling for recognition of his patience throughout the ordeal.
According to the post’s creator, the woman had been preventing any attempt to install the cable for months. To circumvent the issue, the worker cleverly opted to avoid her property altogether by accessing a second-floor area that did not belong to her. Despite these efforts, the ladderโs proximity to her porch proved enough to set off the violent response.
Viewers of the viral video are demanding updates, with many curious about the legal consequences the woman will face. One commenter summed up the general sentiment:
“That’s straight to eviction, no collecting rent, no passing GOโyou busted ass hoe.”
The viral incident has sparked a broader conversation about service workers’ safety and the challenges they face, with some Redditors lamenting how these situations often get overlooked by their employers. One user claimed, “At Comcast, the first and last person to be blamed is the technician.”
As of now, it remains unclear if legal action has been taken against the woman, but with the video gaining massive traction online, many are calling for accountability. The video has fueled discussions on Reddit, from the womanโs erratic behavior to the worker’s admirable composure.
