WARNING, OFFENSIVE FOOTAGE: Juan Ynoa, a New York City public school teacher and esteemed youth baseball coach for New York Longhorns Baseball was caught on video lasing out in a homophobic attack
A teacher and youth sports coach has been captured in a shocking video lashing out in a fit of road rage that turned into a vulgar homophobic attack.
Juan Ynoa, a New York City public school teacher and youth baseball coach, has found himself at the centre of controversy as a video captures him shouting homophobic slurs and threats during a road rage incident that has gone viral on social media. The incident occurred in Wantagh, New York, approximately 35 miles east of New York City. Ynoa, who works at Flushing High School in Queens and as a coach for the New York Longhorns Baseball youth travel team, now faces reassignment and the removal of his coaching duties pending an investigation by the authorities.
The incident unfolded following a road rage altercation, which Matthew Kevelson, a musician and the video’s recorder, described as beginning when Ynoa abruptly cut across three lanes of traffic. In the video, Ynoa can be seen unleashing a tirade of hateful remarks and threats, including a disturbing anti-gay slur. He can be seen shouting “Hey, jerk off! What’s up, you f***ing jerk off? I’ll rape your f***ing a**, you faggot,” before getting out of his car to take a picture of Kevelson’s license plate. Ynoa can then be heard saying, “You’re messing with the wrong dude.” Kevelson, concerned about potential retaliation, took to social media to post the video as a form of protection.
