A black man wearing a black hat enters a convenience store and swings an iron bar.

After knocking over the cookie shelf, they randomly beat various items such as refrigerators, freezers, and tables.

The customers in the store are surprised and hurriedly evacuated.

The riot took place in Charlotte, North Carolina,

It is a convenience store run by the couple, the chairman of the Korean American Association of Carolina, Sung Yeol-moon.

The riot took place on the afternoon of the 30th of last month.

Chairman Seong said that Nan Dong-beom was wielding an iron rod and swearing, “Chinese, go back to your country.”

The rioter arrested by the police has been identified as 24 year old Harvier Rash Woody-Silas.

The police were arrested on charges of robbery, intimidation, and obstruction of public affairs, and are also considering applying the hate crime provisions.

It is known that most of the property of the convenience store was damaged in this riot, causing damage of 50 to 60 million won.

In Tacoma, Washington, it was belatedly revealed that a Korean couple was assaulted by teenagers.

In the video, a teenager in a red top and black pants runs into a Korean couple walking down the street and punches.

Police in Tacoma say they recently arrested a 15-year-old boy and charged him with second-degree assault.

The victim was known to have broken ribs and bruised faces as a result of the assault at the time.

Voices and protests against Asian hate crimes have spread since the Atlanta shootings.

The reality of the United States is not yet in a situation where Asians can live comfortably.
