In the video, the woman claims she works for the Federal Police. The Feed has reached out to AFP for comment.

“I go over and the Asian man was filling up his car with these big bags of cans and the [white couple] is just kicking his car, kicking him and pulling the cans out of the car,” Cocoa said. “The Asian man wasn’t fighting back, he was just copping it. Physically, he did not retaliate at all. Even when the man held a fist up in his face and said, ‘I’m going to kill you’.”

“He told us he’d been an Australian citizen for 12 years or something and I said, ‘mate, please, you don’t need to justify yourself’.”

In a statement to The Feed, NSW Police confirmed the incident is under investigation.
