In the video, Brennan is seen ripping fliers out of the two girls’ hands, shouting, “You guys are awful. You’ll never amount to anything” and accusing them of inciting riots.
“Do not touch her!” one of them could be heard yelling in the video. After this, he rounded on the third, male youth and pinned him to the ground with his bicycle.
