At one point the suspect threatened to kill the victim, according to the federal indictment. The suspect then allegedly brought his fists up in a fighting posture and began jumping up and down, saying "Wanna fight?" The victim raised his hands with open palms and responded "No," according to the indictment.
When police arrived at the scene, they told the bystander to release the suspect, who then escaped and ran away after being initially restrained, according to the indictment.
