The video was shared by a Twitter user with the caption, "Please share this with your friends & family. This is so low, the older man was just trying to make ends meet for his family. He didn't deserve this. this is ignorant, inhumane, & sickening. I'm praying for this man and his family. If you have any information, please reach out."
In the shared video, an onlooker could be seen walking towards the man, wielding a pole and using it to hit him on the head, while others laugh and jeer as the victim runs away.
The man could then be seen being attacked and mocked by shouting onlookers on suspicion of being a thief. As the video further progresses, one of the onlookers could be heard screaming, "I hate Asians".
