Man caught on video in Arlington gas station attack arrested, JSO says

was recorded from store surveillance video and shared with News4JAX by the 23-year-old victim, Rayme McCoy, who is Black.McCoy said she walked into the gas station near her home and was followed by an older white man who was already involved in an argument with someone outside.

Video shared with News4JAX, which does not contain audio of the exchange, shows the man with a mustache and a green shirt punching McCoy in the face at least 10 times before he walks out of the store. The video was also posted on social media and shared thousands of times.A woman told News4JAX a man used racist language before he attacked her on Monday inside an Arlington gas station.

There were two aggravated assault charges -- both were dropped -- one of them was with a deadly weapon. After the attack Monday, McCoy said she was left feeling dizzy and had cuts and bruises on her face so she went to a local hospital to get checked out.Reep said as a bystander there is no obligation to intervene in a criminal act.

“So the battery is an unwanted touching -- that is easy to convince a jury of in this case. That woman did not invite the punches that she received,” Reep said. “But if you add in the hate crime element, like we saw in the Mr. Arbery case up in Georgia, you’re adding in now a racial animus as the motivating factor to do that battery -- it becomes a harder thing to prove. There’s a new element in the story to prove.

Oh great, we were all waiting for the Northside Coalition to chime in.
