A black transgender woman was beaten by a crowd of men, according to early reports on social media.

The victim has been identified as Iyanna Dior, and people posting a video of the attack to Twitter say that the aggression occurred this past Monday.


The video, which does not show what led up to the attack, shows a woman being beaten by at least a dozen men at a store. She is pushed out of the store by the crowd but worked her way back in and hid behind the cashier’s counter.

“You gotta come out,” someone in the crowd yelled. Then a man went behind the counter and pulled her out.

Shocking footage shared on social meda has shown Iyanna Dior, a black trans woman from Minnesota, being violently beaten by a group of more than 30 people.

A video of the incident shows the moment Dior is attacked by a mob of mostly men after entering a store in Minneapolis, where protests against the killing of George Floyd have been taking place for more than a week.

The incident was allegedly sparked by a minor car accident moments before.

In a separate video shared to Facebook, Dior reassured followers she was recovering following the incident, which left her with brusing and swelling as well as minor injuries to her forehead and teeth.

Footage of the attack prompted outrage on social media, where many called for an end to the epidemic of violence against black trans women.
