A man was arrested this afternoon in Union Square after allegedly attacking three people. According to witness Joey Boots, the African-American suspect attacked a white man around 2:30 p.m. "He bloodied him up pretty good," Boots said. When two others came to aide the victim, the suspect allegedly assaulted them as well, and started shouting, "I hate white people." You can see a video of the aftermath below.
It's unclear what started the fracas, although the Instagram user who posted the video said, "This dude punched this other dude for walkin past him funny." At least one victim (the first) was taken to a nearby hospital for his injuries; police had no immediate information about the information.
Boots added that he believes the suspect is a homeless man who has started hanging out in the Square in the past couple days: "I was told he's been around here for a few days...he's been getting sandwiches from a local church group."
The NYPD and the FDNY did not immediately have any details about the incident. You can see a few more photos and Twitter reactions below.
How DARE someone walk funny past him!!
I guess it wasn’t that funny to him.
Just another illegal vigilante negro

Good thing they told us this in the article. I would have never figured out his ethnicity after reading the headline.

Don’t ask McCain what “I hate white people” really means.
We’ll soon have a statement from a police spokesman that they have found no evidence of this being a hate crime.
The D party the political party of human sacrifice, guess it sucks to be white near so many of those black D voters who are fed nothing but anti-white hate propaganda.
Is it getting to a point, that the media can not hide it anymore?
I’m sure CNN will air a more indepth investigation on this, right?
Just a food allergy. He is allergic to crackers, not his fault.
I know what you mean. . .could have been a self-loathing white liberal.
ha.
It's perfectly clear what started the "fracas."
If you're not a pablum-puking fool who's thinking at the level of someone who is out of junior high school, that is.
How long before they say it was not racially motivated??
Like the guy who was forced to apologize for slavery and stuff
It’s akin to “Merry Christmas”.
Well, the MSM has done a pretty good job of hiding this story from the general public. As far as I know the Gothamist is the only one reporting this story. The only way around this media bias is if everyone reading this sends this story and original link to the Drudge Report. Please do.
Cue the old Monty Python "Ministry of Silly Walks" skit...
Most white liberals would agree and hate themselves.
That's the same as the Christian "God bless You" - \JMcCain mode off
