TikTok user @@ghost_of_halay was reading a book in sun when a man approached and the encounter turned hostile.

According to the filmer, "this man approached me asking my ethnicity. When I told him I didn’t want to tell him he got hostile immediately and said I was being disrespectful."

Filmed in Glendale, California, the footage shows the argument unfolding.

"Why are you recording me? Fuck you! If you record me I'm gunna break your phone," the man is heard threatening.

The filmer told Newsflare: "He was using intimidation tactics, trying to stand over me, his body language said he wanted to hurt me. I told him to leave me alone many time until I pulled out my mace and he finally left. He meets up with his friend around the bushes who had been behind me the whole time. Another intimidation tactic, to corner me."
