The deadly stabbing aboard a light rail car in North Carolina was reimagined as a lifesaving bystander intervention in an eerie new video the rapper DaBaby dropped Tuesday.
The music video of "Save Me," by the artist whose real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, had more than 400,000 views on YouTube by Wednesday afternoon and has drawn some backlash across social media.
The song re-enacts the brutal slaying of Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska, 23, while she rode a Charlotte Area Transit System train last month.
Chilling security video showed Zarutska sitting by herself with a man seated behind her. Then, with seemingly no provocation, the man can be seen standing up and whipping out a knife in his right hand.
Video of the incident has been cut off, stopping short of the knife’s plunging into Zarutska's neck.
