Claim 1: “The 27-year-old deliveryman got off his scooter and he and the Lexus driver got into a physical fight”
SINGLE SOURCE
A search result for Sofia Poznansky on the New York Post explicitly mentions the 27-year-old deliveryman getting off his scooter and engaging in a physical fight with the Lexus driver. However, it is a snippet from a profile page rather than a full corroborating article from a second independent organization.
