Woman hurls clothes over sixth-floor NYC balcony after boyfriend caught cheating: video

A Bedford-Stuyvesant woman who apparently came home to find her boyfriend in bed with another woman went berserk, tossing his clothes and other items from her sixth-floor balcony in a caught-on-video tirade. Neighbors watched, and filmed, as shirts and pants piled up and snagged in a tree below the scorned girlfriend’s Atlantic Avenue apartment. “Oh wow, she’s giving them a show,” exclaimed a neighbor who recorded the rampage from a few floors below.
