A 20-year-old North Carolina man has been charged with assault after storming a TV reporter’s live shot, shoving her aside and screaming the n-word into the microphone, WMBF-TV reported.

Wearing a blue shirt and dark glasses, a man alleged to be Justin Moore of Charlotte, N.C. jumped in front of WMBF reporter Ashley Taylor during an 11 p.m. newscast Wednesday night and shouted what sounded like, “I am that n—-r!”

The newscast quickly cut away and the man took off running. Police officers were given photo of the suspect and apprehended Moore a few moments later.

According to WMBF, Taylor said she was preparing to go on TV when she and a coworker noticed a group of four or five males lingering in the area. The incident occurred shortly after she began speaking.

Moore has been charged with third-degree assault and battery. He was released from jail Thursday on bond.

    Down town Charlotte is nice but do not stray too far from city center, a couple blocks in the wrong direction and your ******* ass will be in trouble.

    Myrtle Beach is in SC, not NC. The event took place in SC not NC, the guy was from NC but was in SC.

      It never ceases to amaze me at how often TV reporters and others get North and South Carolina mixed up. I guess they have the same problem in the Dakotas too.

      Shiver me timbers: they posted that last one but not the one I posted exchanging the other epithets with the n- word. Why one and not the other equally insulting and rude term? I guess you can only say what the slavemasters want you to say.

    This man is clearly in violation of the code of ethics set forth for Americans by the Rev Jackson, and the Rev Sharpton, for using the N word. See that his name is smeared by the main stream media so he receives vigilante justice after he is tried in the court of public opinion.

      That’s right – The media want a Race war and the media is the ones reporting this war in the Street – thus they will be the first victims of the chaos they created! Brilliant people!

      I’ll be at home cleaning my weapons watching the Media being attacked in the streets.

      If you watch that video again you can clearly see that it was Zimmerman that pushed that white female Barry voter out of the way then forced that black gentleman to say the N word, us lily white people are shocked a off-white man could be so cruel, shocking I say ! shocking !

      And if he grabbed the mic and smacked her in the face with it? He could have in that split second. None of us knew for certain what he planned on doing. We are just Monday morning quarterbacking. I’m wondering what would happen if she just shot him? It was all on film. What do you think? Justifiable ho m o cide?

      So with that logic then, a group of people can just jump in an interfere with your work, your livelihood, your profession, with the means in which you feed your family, and as long as its funny, well hey at least someone got to laugh right……. It called respect. This young man obviously does not have any for anyone else, and he should be charged.

      @NOLAND Cut to the chase: it’s not funny, especially given the social climate/context. It also proves how brazen criminals can be, and that cameras are not a deterrent, but in some cases, a magnet.

      @INDYNWGUY Nice try. You actually think this guy is tarnished for life over this? Pffffttt….Wrong. His behavior is championed in some circles, and this is a type of “counting coup”. Get a clue.

    Those who want to take down America are getting more bold .. I had a friend this week approached as she was getting in her car ..the man (yes he was black and she white) told her he wanted her and he knew she wanted him … she told him she had a gun and would use it .. he continued to hold her door and tell her that he would “give it to her” … (rape she said was clearly what he was talking about) .. she reached into the armrest and he let go of the door .. she had bluffed him .. but she is NOT going to take that chance again .. she is getting a gun and a CCW … we live south of Tampa where the NBPP have made threats to turn the streets red with blood … anyone who doesn’t believe they are serious and enboldened .. is not living in reality.
