Viral Video Shows White Milwaukee Man’s Disturbing Assault Of Black Man He Accused Of Stealing His Bike
In Milwaukee, a white man was recorded on video accusing a Black man of stealing a bike while he had his hand around his throat.
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Milwaukee police are investigating the October 10 incident – the footage of which has now gone viral, being shared thousands of times on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms. The names have not been made public but a 62–year-old white man has his hands around the throat of a 24-year-old. The white man is accusing him of stealing a bike. He eventually lets the 24-year-old go at the urging of Deangelo Wright, who filmed the incident. The younger man denies touching the bike.
In a video with activist Vaun Mayes, Wright said he was driving when he saw the man with his hand on the other man’s neck. He stopped his car and started filming because what he saw “looked crazy.” Wright, who initially thought the younger man was a child, explained, “I just would want someone to do it if it was my kid.”
Fox6 News confirmed he has a disability but no other details were given.
