WATCH: Crowd Surrounds ‘Disabled Veteran’ For ‘Not Wearing A Mask’ in Shocking Footage
A shocking video that has rapidly spread across social media appears to show a disabled veteran being attacked because he was not wearing a mask.
The veterans advocacy group, Code of Vets, tweeted out the video footage with the caption, “This assault on a disabled veteran for not wearing a mask is disturbing on every level. We secured this nation and our freedoms now we are under attack.”
WARNING: The video video contains sensitive language.
The Washington Examiner reported that the mask-less man, identified in the video is Eric Matthew Braden, and he was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing on private property after protesting in the mall and not wearing a mask.
Towards the end of the video as Braden was being apprehended, you can hear shouting that he is a United States Disabled Veteran.
The incident occurred at the North Star Mall in San Antonio, Texas.
Videos like the one above have become more and more common as mask mandates have remained in place for almost an entire year in some regions.
