A Pennsylvania college hockey player is facing criticism after a viral security video showed him pushing a woman’s empty wheelchair down the stairs of a crowded bar. One of them, identified as Mercyhurst University student Carson Brier, sits in the chair and rolls back and forth before standing up and pushing the chair down the stairs. The wheelchair is damaged, but the owner is still able to use it. Both Carson Brier and his father, Daniel Brier, issued statements apologizing for the incident. Daniel Brier was recently named interim general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. He also issued a statement, but it is not clear now if the student will face any disciplinary action. The video went viral after the bar manager posted it on Twitter, and according to Twitter analytics, it has now been viewed more than 22 million times. Police say the incident is under investigation.
