A racist was filmed being floored with a can of iced tea after repeatedly calling a black man the n-word, and sharing his fondness for the slur. The unidentified man was knocked to the floor at a Circle K gas station in Elyria, Ohio, in a video posted to Twitter on Christmas Eve.

The clip, filmed by a female bystander, saw the white man say: ‘Fuck yo’ mama n*****.’ He added: I’m not trying to be disrespectful bro. I’m gonna say n***** all day every day. Are you kidding me. Where you from n*****?’ The man he was addressing answered: ‘Here, n*****.’

The racist then answered: ‘You from here. You a clown n*****.’ The man he was talking to was seen picking up a large can of iced tea, prompting his tormentor to say: ‘You gonna smack me with that? Smack me. Smack me n*****.’

The man being spoken to then whacked the racist with the can, sending him flying to the floor. A scuffle ensued, with the man who’d thrown the punch ordering the racist to use the slur again as he held him against the ground – only for the racist to finally refuse.

The exchange was filmed by an unseen woman, who verbally supported the man who’d been racially abused after he snapped.

Local newspaper The Chronicle said Elyria Police are aware of the clip, and believe they know the identities of the men involved.

But Lieutenant James Welsh said no charges had been filed in relation to the incident, and said no-one had come into the precinct to report it.
