Reno Police are investigating a Facebook video of an attack on a black man by a white woman. Elijah Lewis posted the video of the altercation between himself and the woman. Lewis, a performer in the show “Motown,” at the Pioneer Center, says he was going to get a sandwich when the woman started calling him racist names. Lewis says she then charged at him and hit him. At that point, he says he shoved her away and started recording on his phone. On the video, she is seen walking away yelling racial slurs and displaying obscene gestures. There are unconfirmed reports that the same woman was using racial slurs against Asians on an RTC bus, before the video taped incident.
