Victim of ‘unprovoked’ Michigan Macy’s beatdown is an employee
More on this story from yesterday.
[NYPOST] The white man pummeled to the floor in a viral video taken at a Macy’s in Michigan after allegedly using the N-word is an employee who was assaulted in an "unprovoked" attack, company officials said.

Footage of the brutal beatdown Monday at a Macy’s in Flint Township showed a white man being knocked to the floor by a black man at the Genessee Valley Center mall.

A portion of the video posted to Facebook by rapper FT Quay claimed the white man was punched several times after he was overheard referring to a black man as a "n—-r."

After a review of the footage, Macy’s has confirmed that the unidentified victim worked at the location. Company officials are assisting police looking for two men they say were involved in the attack, MLive.com reports.

"We are deeply saddened about the incident that took place on Monday as Macy’s Genessee Valley, as the safety of Macy’s customer and colleagues is our top priority," a Macy’s spokesperson told the outlet. "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."

Both Macy’s and the mall have since brought on additional security staffers since the incident, WNEM reports.

Company officials declined further comment, referring additional inquires to Flint Township police.

"We are looking for them as we speak," Lt. Brad Wangler told MLive.com of the man who punched the employee and FT Quay, whose Facebook profile indicates he’s from Grand Blanc, Mich. "It’s not something that’s been put on the back burner. We want to find out what happened."

Police responded to the Macy’s after getting an assault complaint at about 5:45 p.m. Monday, police said in a statement Friday.

"Officers learned an employee of the store was assaulted by a young black male who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace with a second individual after the assault," police said. "Store surveillance video confirmed the assault against the employee. Investigators also learned the assault was recorded by the second individual and shared on social media."
