WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN — A man screaming racial slurs was shoved off an L train by straphangers infuriated by his belligerent behavior.

Video shows the man, who identified himself to passengers as an NYU Law School graduate, drinking a Lime-A-Rita and chanting the N-word, which he claims he can do because of his First Amendment right.

When the Brooklyn- bound L train pulls into the Bedford Avenue station, the man is surrounded by passengers who shove him off the train.
