Richland County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that the Black man in the video is accused of two incidents in the same neighborhood days prior to the confrontation. A man touched a woman and picked up a baby without consent, according to incident reports from the sheriff’s office.

There was no word if deputies issued any charges. Names of the suspect and victims were redacted in the reports sent to The Post and Courier.

The Post and Courier has not independently confirmed the identity of the White man seen in the video, but several social media posters said he was in the Army. Fort Jackson, the Army’s largest training camp based in Columbia, did not identify the soldier.

“This is by no means condoned by any service member,” a tweet from the Fort Jackson commanding general’s account said. “We will get to the bottom of this ASAP.”

1. OMG, it sounds like we are back in the 40s or 50s.

I've seen the video. The white sob was out of his mind with racial hatred.

2. Hell no

That big jerk did not know anything about the man he bullied, pushed, and threw his phone, except that he was Black. Period.
