Vauhxx Rush Booker, a black man was almost lynched to death after he was attacked by a group of white men in Indiana, United States of America.

Vauhxx Rush Booker who narrated the incident on Facebook wrote that it happened on the Fourth of July near Lake Monroe on state-owned land on Saturday, July 5.

Video from the scene shows several white men holding Booker on the ground against a tree while two white women can be seen pleading with them to let him go. Some of the white men were also heard using racial slurs directed at the person filming the incident.

In a lengthy post, Booker said he decided to hang out with some friends to watch the lunar eclipse at Lake Monroe. On their way to the park, a white man who Booker described as “seemingly drunk,” and was wearing a shirt with a confederate flag printed on it, approached them.

“WE NOTICED HE BEGAN FOLLOWING US IN AN ATV AND WE STOPPED AS HE DROVE UP BEHIND US AND THEN STATED WE WERE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE RELAYED TO HIM THAT WE BELIEVED THE ORGANIZERS HAD RECEIVED PERMISSION FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO CROSS, BUT APOLOGIZED AND WENT ON TO OUR BEAUTIFUL SITE JUST OFF THE WATER WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENT. WHEN WE ARRIVED, WE TOLD THE EVENT ORGANIZER OF THE ENCOUNTER AND IT WAS RELAYED THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WASN’T THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNER AND THE ORGANIZER APOLOGIZED.” BOOKER WROTE.

As they decided to leave, Booker said more white men came to the scene and “quickly became aggressive,” telling them to take the trail. Moments later, the men attacked him and knocked him to the ground, where they pinned him down for several minutes.

“I tussled with the two and another one joined in, then two more,” he continued. “The five [men] were able to easily overwhelm me and got me to the ground and dragged me, pinning my body against a tree as they began pounding on my head and ripped off some of my hair, with several of them still on top of my body holding me down. At one point during the attack, one of the men jumped on my neck. I could feel both his feet and his full bodyweight land hard against my neck.”
