A man who was caught on video unleashing a racist tirade and then turning violent outside a Chicago Starbucks has been arrested and charged with battery, police say.

According to police, 23-year-old William Boucher “became irate” after someone spilled a drink on him inside the Starbucks on Tuesday afternoon.

A local television photographer who was in the store at the time captured the incident on his cellphone camera. In the video, a man later identified as Boucher can be heard shouting, “You’re disgusting!” and other insults in the presence of other customers and employees.

The incident escalated after Boucher left the coffee shop and spit on a 30-year-old man and 34-year-old woman, police said.
