Earlier this month, a video of a UK man allegedly chasing a Muslim couple with a chainsaw angered human rights activists and Muslims across social media.
The video in question took place at a gas station and showcased a man getting out of a white vehicle and running toward the people while holding a chainsaw.
A post on X (formerly known as Twitter) claimed that the incident took place on Aug. 5, 2024, at a Shell gas station in Manchester and called it an "Islamophobic" attack.
