An Ohio woman who says a man assaulted her at a gas pump hopes the public can help identify the alleged perpetrator. The confrontation sent the woman to the hospital with a concussion and fractured nose after an older man became enraged when she honked her horn at him. In the now-viral video, the man held up a Costco ID with his name partially obscured, showing only “James W.” A viral video shows an Ohio woman being attacked by a man at a Costco gas pump. (Photo: Instagram/ @tizzyent) The video, filmed by the woman, captured the confrontation but not the lead-up. She wanted to fill up her tank at a Costco in Columbus when the man appeared to be backing into her vehicle. After speaking with her son, social justice influencer TizzyEnt (Michael McWhorter) shared the backstory across his social media platforms on Oct. 27.

She said she thought he might back into her…so she honked her horn, like, ‘hey, there’s someone here, don’t run into me’,” he told his massive following. “To that, [the man] got out, angry, and allegedly called her the N-word.” Although the woman didn’t capture the racial slur on camera, she stood by her account of what happened. She called him a “coward” for refusing to admit he had said it on camera and added: “Stand on it if that’s how you feel.” Though he wouldn’t repeat the slur again, he apparently had no qualms about getting physical. The woman’s screen went black as the two tussled, and her phone flew out of her hands. She repeatedly shouted, “Are you serious? Are you f–king serious?” At least 13,000 commenters have weighed in on the viral video, tagging Costco. Some claim they found the man online and shared screenshots purportedly showing his Facebook page, though Atlanta Black Star has independently confirmed his identity.
