Steve Crump, a reporter for WBTV in Charlotte, was in Charleston covering Hurricane Matthew when a 21-year-old man sitting on the street started calling him the racial slurs. Crump had his camerman with him so the aftermath was all caught on video - up until the moment the man was arrested by police. 'What did you just call me?' Crump asked as he approached the white man on video. 'You called me the N-word, right?' The man, later identified by police as 21-year-old Brian Eybers, then spelled out the N-word on camera. He said that the 'Constitution of the United States' gave him the right to freedom of speech, the Charlotte Observer reported. 'I did - I believe I did call you the N-word,' Eybers says in the video. 'N for Nancy, I as in indigo, G as in Grant, another G as in Grant, E as in Edward and R as in Rogers,' he adds. Crump then responds: 'I'm glad you've found such a wonderful place in this society.' Eybers then hits back: 'You're a (expletive) idiot. You're ignorant. So you really are a (N-word) then.' The two continue talking for a little longer, before Crump gets into his van to leave. However Eybers then steps in front of the van, blocking their path and smoking from a device that appears to be a crack pipe. Crump is heard in the video calling 911 and asking for someone to come and move Eybers along so that they can leave, adding that he is harassing them.
