New Yorkers are a real trip.
A Brooklyn woman went viral for falling down the steps in Grand Central Terminal and being left behind by rushing commuters — with one even mumbling, “Get the f–k up.”
Fia James got close to 4 million views on Instagram and TikTok for the clip, taken right after her tumble in the terminal, which occurred on its grand marble steps around 12 p.m. Monday.
“I’m trying to catch my train and I missed, well, I actually didn’t miss the last step. The step was really slippery. And I just wiped and I landed on my butt and luckily didn’t break my back,” James, 29, told The Post.
“I look behind me and there’s just like traffic of humans just not stopping.”
Even though she was on the ground for no more than 12 seconds, Midtown commuters barreling down the stairs had no patience.
“People are like, ‘OK, it’s time to get up now.’ They were just mumbling under their breath, ‘Let’s go,’ because I was in their way,” she recalled.
“It was a very humbling experience. Very New York. Everyone’s going at their own pace, which is fast. And no one’s special, even if you fall down the stairs.”
To add insult to injury, not one passerby offered to help her up or even asked if she was OK.
“Oh God, no. No way. They go, “Ohhhh.’ And I go, ‘Careful, it’s slippery!’” she said.
James wasn’t upset that there wasn’t a good Samaritan in sight — because she understood why.
“New Yorkers, we’re desensitized, there’s so many things we see every day on that commute to and from work and home. And nothing is surprising, it seems. It’s just a survival thing,” she opined.
The singer-songwriter was so humbled by her quintessential New York moment that she took out her phone and filmed the video before leaving the station.
In the clip, she laughs and says: “There’s nothing like being back in New York, because I just slipped and fell down the stairs on my way to catch a train and people were like, ‘Get up! Get the f up!’”
The Boston native, who moved to Bushwick in 2023 to pursue her music career, had just been in Los Angeles for work — so her sudden spill felt almost serendipitous.
“I had spent two weeks in LA and the environment is so different there … it feels very fake in some ways,” she said.
“People in New York are very real and upfront. And it was this sort of satisfying, ‘I’m back where I’m supposed to be.’”
