(Rostraver Township, PA) A man that was seen in a video using racial slurs at a woman at the Walmart in Rostraver Township is under investigation. According to a news release yesterday from Pennsylvania State Police, the original investigation of the “viral video” was handled by the Rostraver Township Police Department, but has since been referred to the state police’s Criminal Investigation Unit. In the video, a man with a cellphone went up to a woman shopping at Walmart, asking her personal questions about her finances and using racial slurs. The man used the insulting word that starts with the letter N as well as other racial slurs in the video. The woman who reported the incident to law enforcement is also an immigrant from Liberia who runs a grocery store in Charleroi. She told KDKA that she is willing to let the matter go, saying the man later came to her store and left an apology note.  Anyone with additional information regarding the case can contact the state police in Belle Vernon at 724-929-6262.
