A video posted to Instagram shows the woman saying, “Give it back.”
The teen and his father, Grammy-winning Jazz trumpeterKeyon Harrold, were staying as guests at the Arlo Hotel in Manhattan when the incident happened.
In the petition, they go on to say the woman later physically attacked them and that the hotel managers sided with the woman.
