Maryland-National Capital Park Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, are asking the public for help identifying a cyclist who appeared to attack a man and a girl in a now-viral video.

The man who took the video, who asked to remain anonymous, told NBC Washington that he and others were posting flyers Monday morning supporting demonstrations over the death of George Floyd. They encountered a cyclist near MacArthur Boulevard in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C.

The cyclist appears to approach a girl and take flyers from her in the video. The video was shared widely on social media.

6. Racist white people are starting to lose their shit altogether. That is just reprehensible, and

it was pure fear. That man knows white supremacy is coming to an end. They all do and they just can't understand the world any other way than through the lens of their white superiority. They don't know how to live in a world that doesn't exalt them over everyone else. This is going to get waaaaaaaaaaaaay uglier, realy quick. The death throes of an entire way of life.

That poor kid. I'd have been WTF'd out if a grown up had been that out of control and menacing and crazy towards me. At that age, I still believed grownups were...grown up.

I hope he gets outed. Someone else mentioned he looked like a cop, i buy that.
