A video posted on social media shows a cyclist assaulting a group of teens who were putting up flyers on a Maryland trail calling for justice for George Floyd.

On Monday afternoon, two teenage boys and one teenage girl were posting flyers along the Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda, Maryland, calling for people to donate money to demand action against the police officers involved in the death of George Floyd.

The flyers said, “A MAN WAS LYNCHED BY THE POLICE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT? Text “Floyd” to 55156 Use your privilege for good.”

The text message allows supporters to donate to the Color of Change petition calling for justice for Floyd, who died May 25 in Minneapolis police custody, and “end police violence and white supremacy.”

The male teen told NBC News that he and his two friends were taping the flyers to poles along the trail when the cyclist came up behind them, “ripped the posters and tape out of our hands before eventually throwing his bike into me and trying to hold me to the ground with it.”
