Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday he was “troubled” by a video of two maskless cops shoving a man out of a Manhattan subway station on Tuesday after the straphanger asked them to mask up — the police commissioner later calling it an “absolutely inexcusable” incident that prompted the NYPD to hand out minor penalties to the duo.

De Blasio predicted the pair of officers would be punished — for patrolling the subway system without wearing face coverings.

“There’s an investigation underway, [and] I expect there will be discipline in that case, because it’s obvious that they were not wearing masks,” he said.

We’re better than that,” he said.

Janno Lieber, the MTA’s acting chair, said he was “upset” to see a rider booted from the public transit system during a time when the agency is attempting to lure commuters back underground. .

“I’m upset by what I saw, I think you know we are at a moment where we are trying as a city, as a region to welcome people back to mass transit systems to help accelerate the recovery of the system,” he fumed to reporters during a press conference in Manhattan. “You are the people who are responsible for getting everybody to comply with masking, and with all of the behaviors and rules that we apply to the subway system and in public spaces.”.

Eventually, he said I was being disruptive,” said Gilbert, 27

“The police just got very aggressive,” she said
