Shocking moment man threatens peaceful protesters with a chainsaw and yells the n-word as he tells them to ‘go home’

An irate Texas man who threatened peaceful protesters with a chainsaw and used the n-word was detained by authorities on Friday. 
The disturbing incident happened during demonstrations over the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died in police custody, in the border town of McAllen.
Cell phone footage showed an unidentified man pulling a chainsaw from the back of a blue pickup truck and walking into a crowd of protesters.

The crowd quickly disperses as one person screams to call 911. 
 The man yells at the protesters to 'go home' and 'move' while repeatedly revving the chainsaw.
As the protesters point out that they were simply marching in protest, the man lets loose the n-word and urges them to no be fooled. 
'Don’t let those f****** n****** out there fool you,' he shouts. '"Don't let those f******trash antifa bulls*** people fool you.'
Antifa, a vague left-wing movement, short for anti-fascist, was the source of President Trump's blame over violent clashes that erupted during protests.
He announced that he would designate the group as a terrorist organization, but there's no legal authority to make such a move for a domestic group. 
'Don't let these pendejos right here,' the man continued, using a Spanish slur meaning idiot.

Lorena Houghton, a McAllen resident who witnessed the incident, recalled the moment as 'very scary.'
'We were just walking, because we were walking over here by ourselves, it was a group of like six or seven, and we were just trying to cross the street and someone stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and started yelling at the girl in front,' she told The Monitor
She said the man ripped a poster out of a woman's hands before seizing his chainsaw.
Lorena Houghton: ''I think that the exact point they were trying to make is that they didn¿t think that Black Lives Matter was necessary here, but I think he disproved his own point by violently attacking people that were walking on the street'

McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez  revealed that the chainsaw-wielding man has been detained. 
'Thus far it’s been the only incident we’ve had at today’s event,' said Rodriguez.
'We’ve identified that person, we’ve detained that person and are continuing our investigation into the particular incident.'
An assault investigation was launched into the incident. The department is currently determining what charges will be filed against the man.
