A video showing a white woman attacking a Black veteran at a Louisiana casino physically has gone viral.
According to Devon Leslie Jr., the incident happened on Aug. 3 in Bossier City, Lousiana, but he waited a few days before posting the video. He was unsure if he wanted to go public with the attack.
“Now that I’ve had time to give it some thought I want it known about these two people! This woman went off on me hit me in the face and kicked me in the back, because I sat to (sic) close to her and her boyfriend so this is how I was treated,” Leslie wrote on Aug. 5, adding that the Bossier City Police and the casino stepped in to support him during the confrontation.
The clip, which has been viewed almost 2 million times on one X post, shows the blond woman yelling loudly and attempting to kick Leslie as he records her on his phone. It also captures her male companion trying to calm her down.
However, he ends up joining in the abuse. The footage captures him using a racial slur before it ends.
