A white man shown in a viral video being beaten down by a black man for allegedly calling him the n-word in the middle of a Michigan Macy's has been identified as a store employee.
Macy's issued a statement Friday in which the company claimed the attack was 'unprovoked' as police hunt for the two other men involved who fled the scene.
The shocking video emerged Monday showing the Macy's employee being pummeled in the face at the Genesee Valley Center in Flint Township.
Local rapper FT Quay shared the video on Facebook and claimed that he and a 'bro' went to the mall and asked a man on the phone about a shirt size.
He said the employee answered them and returned to his phone call, where he allegedly told someone on the phone 'no one just some n****r,' which resulted in the black man pouncing on him.
The moment the employee allegedly used the racial slur is not shown in the short clip.
Macy's has now claimed that the attack was 'unprovoked' and said they are helping authorities in identifying the man shown punching the employee in the video and the man filming it.
FT Quay's social media was taken offline as of Friday.
'Violence in the workplace of any kind is unacceptable. All the materials from the evening have been reviewed and it is clear that the attack was unprovoked.
'We are working closely with local authorities on this investigation, and will defer any further comments about the case to them per policy.'
The company did not mention that the man seen being punched in the video was an employee but this was later revealed by local law enforcement.
The brief video shared by FT Quay shows the man punching the other in the face, with the unsuspecting man immediately asking, 'What are you doing that for?'
