The coronavirus crackdown on social distancing just might be going a bit too far.

This, after a group of cops physically removed a man from a public bus Friday morning, all of it caught on video by a bystander with a cellphone.

The man’s crime: Not wearing a face mask while hopping on the bus for his morning commute.

As CBSPhilly.com reports, the incident is now under investigation by Philadelphia police.

Yet the city’s mayor doesn’t seem to think there was an overreaction.

Mayor Jim Kenney tells CBS3 he hasn’t seen the video yet but didn’t have a problem with the passenger being removed.

“We’re in strange times and people are reacting in strange ways but I don’t blame the bus driver,” Kenney reportedly said.

do riders know that they might be pulled off a SEPTA bus by 10 cops for not having a mask? pic.twitter.com/NnHXJC02E8 — Philly Transit Riders Union (@phillyTRU) April 10, 2020

Background from CBSPhilly:

SEPTA operators had the right to refuse to transport passengers that do not wear face masks.

But in wake of police forcibly removing the man from the bus on Friday morning, that rule has been rescinded. While SEPTA urges riders to cover their faces, those who refuse will not be denied entry.

In this case, the bus driver called police because the un-masked passenger would not leave the bus. The passenger wasn’t named in the CBSPhilly report.

As a group of officers attempted to boot him from the bus, the passenger appeared in the video to be resisting, holding on as tight as he could, and refusing to get off, the station writes, adding:

It took about three officers to forcibly remove him by holding him by his arms and one leg to drag him outside the vehicle.

Before all of that took place, some sort of official boarded the bus, telling everyone without a mask they had to exit or police would physically remove them, CBSPhilly reported.
