‘Shut Up, Slave!’: White Man Arrested After Spitting on Two People, Attacking Man, Police Say

 

A Starbucks customer was arrested in Chicago, Illinois after throwing a violent fit on Tuesday, police say.

Cops said it started after someone spilled coffee on him, according to a WLS report. Video taken by one of the outet’s photographers captures the incident.

“Shut up, slave!” the suspect said, shouting other insults as well, like the term “vermin.” The suspect has been identified as 23-year-old William Boucher.

Things almost broke into a fight after Boucher was allegedly seen on video spitting on a black man, but a bystander got in the way.

The other people began walking away. So did he, saying he’ll be back.

“Get on all fours right now,” he said. “Get on all fours. Do not walk off on two legs.”

The incident is apparently over until another, older man approached him. The Boucher allegedly punched the victim, knocking him down. Bystanders rushed over, and held down the attacker.

All in all, cops said he spit on two people, a 30-year-old man and 34-year-old woman, and sent a 59-year-old man to the hospital with an eye injury.
