Police are looking into a viral video that shows a white man grabbing a Black man’s neck in Milwaukee. The attack happened after the white man claimed the Black man stole a bike, NPR reports.
In the clip, which was taken on Oct. 10, a 62-year-old white man is on the phone saying that he saw a friend of the 24-year-old Black man take the bicycle. While he’s talking, his hand is on the 24-year-old’s neck, and his legs are straddling the back wheel of the bike the Black man is riding. The person recording the video, Deangelo Wright, asks him to remove his hand from the younger man’s neck. He obliges but gives Wright the middle finger as he does so. The Black man said several times that he didn’t touch the bike.
Two children intervened and confirmed the 24-year-old’s story. The person recording, Wright, then told the kids to help find the bike in question. Later, the white man says the stolen bike is green, but the bicycle the Black man is riding is blue. Multiple kids tried to tell the white man that the 24-year-old did not steal his bike.
