Gotta love New York--just a random stranger..spreading the love:
A New York City councilwoman found herself on the receiving end of an unexpected and "creepy" kiss from a stranger during a TV interview with CBS New York.
A video posted to Twitter Thursday shows Councilwoman Inna Vernikov being interviewed on Brighton Beach in Brooklyn when a man wearing a hat comes seemingly out of nowhere and plants a kiss on her cheek.
"What the f---?" Vernikov said, turning her head to look at the man, who walked away with a smile on his face.
Vernikov later shared video of the assault, calling it a "very creepy moment."
Vernikov is the councilwoman for the 48th District of New York, which includes Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead Bay.
Raised in Brooklyn in a family of Ukrainian immigrants, Vernikov became a small business owner and a lawyer.
She assumed office in 2021.
