On 29 December 2018, video footage of Pujals emerged on Dominican news media (and spread on social media) where he was seen loudly threatening a bystander who confronted him when he allegedly tried to cut in line at a local bank.[4][5] Pujals can be heard threatening to kill the unnamed man, and calling him a derogatory racial slur.
