He also goes by the name Mike Dalcin. The original video has been viewed more than 500,000 times.

1. A Twitter User Sent the Video Viral; She Says Dalcin ‘Verbally Assaulted’ Her in Brentwood
A woman who goes by the name “Em” on Twitter first shared the video.
She wrote, “At 5pm I was walking in Brentwood at the intersection of Bundy & Montana. I stopped to look at my phone when this man came out of his home & verbally assaulted me. He approached me, maskless. I asked him to step away. He called me ‘stupid blue hair asian girl’ & “dumb b*tch.'”
“Are you up against the car,” Dalcin says at the beginning of the video.
The woman recording the video asked him to back away from her and said he was harassing her.
“No one’s going to pay attention to you because you’re dumb and you’re a stupid blue Asian haired girl. F*** you. F*** you,” Dalcin says.
“I was literally just standing here,” she responds.
“F*ck you,” he says. “I can record you, you dumb b****. I can record you too. You see how stupid you are.”
He walks toward her with two dogs.
“Get the f*** out of here you idiot. Dumb f****** b****.”
