‘Fear for my life’: Mum and daughter duo backtrack after wild parking spot brawl

A mother and daughter duo have apologised for a slur-laced brawl over a parking spot in NYC after being pelted with online death threats.

A mum and daughter duo charged with ganging up on a student in a slur-laced New York parking spot brawl are being pelted with online death threats — and have now apologised for the caught-on-video melee.

The alleged victim doesn’t wanna hear it, she told The Post.

“I don’t accept the apology only because I feel like the apologies are only because of how much outreach the video is getting and I don’t think the apology is wholesome,” university student Jada McPherson, 21, said on Monday.

“I don’t think it’s from their hearts, like deep down.

“But I just hope they could see or see what they did wrong and kind of get a better understanding of how to operate or act in certain situations from this situation.”

Viral video captured the July 7 scuffle in Queens, when mum Andreea Dumitru, 45, and her daughter, Sabrina Starman, 21, — along with an unidentified man — jumped McPherson after the student tried to park in a spot the friend was holding for them.

Dumitru and Starman have been inundated with insults and death threats over the encounter since the wild video, which shows them slugging McPherson, pulling her hair and throwing her to the ground — with both sides hurling racial and ethnic epithets at each other, the footage shows.

In one text message the family received since the video went viral, an anonymous user wrote, “You ready to die? Because I’m ready to kill you and your peoples (sic).

“You will be seeing me shortly,” the text said. “Mark my words, I am going to murder ALL OF YOU.”

Dumitru and Starman, who were charged with assault and harassment, now fear for their lives.

“I have hundreds of calls death-threatening me, telling me how they’re going to come,” Dumitru said in an interview. “I never in my life has experienced such trauma. And not only that, I have my little one and I have appointments and I have surgeries coming up. I have a dog. My mum is older.

“I fear for my life,” she added. “I’ve been threatened. I haven’t been sleeping since I got out of jail. I haven’t been able to rest. I have not been eating.”

The parking spot scuffle erupted after the mystery neighbour agreed to hold the space by putting a garbage can there while Dumitru drove her younger son to McDonald’s.

When McPherson tried to park in the spot, all hell broke loose.

Starman claimed McPherson started the name-calling, and suggested she started the fight.

“It was the way she approached us and provoked us for a whole 30 minutes straight,” she said. “So, the 45-minute mark where we got arrested — because we were just only sticking up for ourselves.”

Still the mother and daughter, who had their lawyer with them when they spoke to The Post, offered an apology for the incident that now has them in trouble with the law.

McPherson, who is still upset about the three-on-one assault, said she feels the death threats are out of line and blows the entire incident out of proportion.

“I just feel like the death threats are unnecessary,” she said.

Meanwhile, Dumitru said she’s learned a valuable lesson from the whole mess.

“I’ll never do that again,” she said. “Ever. I learned my lesson. I will never do something like that again, and I will never condone something like that ever again.

“You want the parking? Take it. It’s not worth this. This is not worth it.”
