A man was filmed yelling racist threats at an Indian Canadian couple outside a Walmart in Canada on Friday afternoon.
The footage, which begins after an argument erupted between two men, shows the alleged attacker getting into his silver truck while the victim confronts him.
“What kind of example are you setting for your children?” the man can be heard saying in the video recorded by his wife and uploaded to YouTube by his co-worker Patryk Laszczuk.
According to Laszczuk, the man sent him the video after the incident happened outside the Walmart Supercenter on Centennial Parkway North in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
Laszczuk told CBC that the argument started after the couple inadvertently blocked the other man’s way while backing into a parking spot.
As the argument escalated, the wife began recording but ended up getting hit by the truck as the attacker suddenly accelerated.
“Oops. Get out of the way,” the man shouted.
When the husband grabbed his arm, he said, “You put your f**king hands on me I will break your leg.”

The man then passed the blame on the couple saying, “You’re the one trying to harass me. I’m driving away.”
“I’m a Canadian citizen,” the victim stated.
To which the man in the truck responded, “Show me. Prove it. You don’t talk like a Canadian,” while mocking the man’s accent.
“I’m racist as f**k. I don’t like you. I don’t like her. I would kill your children first,” the man said before driving off.
The 47-year-old aggressor has since been arrested and charged with threatening death, according to Laszczuk. The names of those involved have not been revealed.
He confirmed that the couple from India are now Canadian citizens who have been living in Canada for seven years. The wife suffered minor injuries from being hit by the man’s truck.
