Local news station KTLA 5 reports that 28-year-old Sakura Kokumai, a gold medal winner at the 2019 Pan American Games, was training for the upcoming Olympics when a white man started yelling at her and threatening to attack her.
She posted video of the incident on her Instagram page:
"Yeah you're scared!" he told her, seemingly not understanding that she is a highly accomplished martial artist. "I'll f*ck you up!"
The man eventually walked away and got into his car, which is when Kokumai says he began yelling racial slurs at her.
