Shaquille Brewster stood near an empty Mississippi beach on Monday reporting on Hurricane Ida that slammed into the Gulf Coast states when a white 2016 Ford F150 pickup parked behind him.

Brewster, a broadcast news reporter for NBC News and MSNBC, saw a man run toward him yelling about "accuracy," so he quickly moved to clear the man from view.

But a few seconds later, the man forced the reporter to sign off.

"Craig, I'm going to toss it back to you because we have a man who is upset right now," Brewster said as the man approached him yelling.

When the camera broke away to another news anchor, the man assaulted Brewster, according to the Gulfport Police Department.

2. Read in a twitter comment that this guy apparently was arrested in the past

in Ohio for drilling holes in vats of chemicals to sicken employees at a business he used to own, for revenge or to force a monetary settlement--one employee had to go to the hospital for cyanide poisoning. Super looney tunes.

Police have issued an arrest warrant for the "angry white man" seen in a viral video aggressively confronting NBC correspondent Shaquille Brewster during coverage of Hurricane Ida in Mississippi on Monday.

In a statement, Gulfport police said Benjamin Eugene Dagley has left the Mississippi Gulf Coast and is on the run in a white Ford pickup truck that was visible in video of the incident. Dagley faces two counts of simple assault, one count of disturbing the peace, and one count of violating an emergency curfew.

Dagley is also suspected of violating his parole, which reportedly stems from charges that he once nearly caused "an environmental disaster" by drilling holes in tanks containing dangerous chemicals in Ohio. According to police, Dagley's parole includes restrictions on travel.

According to Cleveland.com, Dagley was involved in a financial dispute with an electroplating company when he broke into the facility in 2019 and drilled holes in tanks containing sodium cyanide, hydrochloric acid, yellow chromate, ferrous chloride, and sulfuric acid.

... ferrous chloride, and sulfuric acid are, coincidentally, all excellent treatments for COVID-19.
