A Mississippi man was arrested after a video circulated on social media appearing to show him recording himself driving and threatening to hit nine Black children on bicycles, saying “50 points!” and a racial slur as he sped toward the youngsters.

Mark Hall, 49, was arrested Tuesday and charged with nine counts of simple assault enhanced by hate crime, the Tippah County Detention Center told NBC News. He was released Thursday on $45,000 bond, online records show.

On Sunday, Hall allegedly posted the video of himself on Snapchat that appears to show him driving down a street toward the nine Black teenagers on bicycles.

While videos posted to the social media platform disappear after 24 hours, someone screen recorded it and later shared the clip on Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

Jimmy Brooks, the father of two of the nine teenagers in the incident, confirmed the video circulating on Facebook as the one involving his children and Hall.
