A white man confronted a group of black teenagers on their bikes and pulled a gun on the group. He proceeded to call them racist epithets after a woman accused one of the youngsters of riding over her foot.

The group was taking part in an unsanctioned anti-gun violence "wheels up, guns down" event. The event was held in Miami, Florida earlier this week.

Miami City Commissioner, Keon Hardemon revealed that not only is Bartlett arrested but he should face more serious charges.The Miami Police Department said Bartlett will be held till he can make the $5,000 bond.

He wrote: "Assault with a deadly weapon and calling them n----rs sounds like a hate crime to me.Someone knows him and needs to identify him. He is not a hero. He will kill someone next time if he isn't arrested."

In another incident, a white Uber driver hurled racist insults at his black female passenger. He allegedly missed a turn during the trip. The woman recorded and posted the charged exchange on Facebook and it went viral.
