COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WZTV) A man faces a felony aggravated assault charge following the circulation of a video showing a woman being body slammed to the ground outside a Popeyes in Columbia, Tennessee.

The video has been making the rounds on social media, racking up tens of thousands of views. In the video, people are seen chasing a woman out of the store, and then a man picks her up and slams her to the ground.

Columbia officers rushed to the Popeye's on Nashville Highway at around 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 for reports of the assault and disturbance. Investigators arrested Deriance RaShaiel Hughe, 29, in connected to the reported Popeye's assault.

Hughes was taken into custody at around 2:20 p.m. Friday and charged with felony aggravated assault. Authorities tell FOX 17 News charges against more people may be forthcoming as the investigation continues.

A family member tells FOX 17 News that the woman in the video is hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit at Vanderbilt with six broken ribs, a shattered left arm and broken knee cap. The 55-year-old has since hired legal representation with Rocky McElhaney Law Firm.

Before things took a dangerous turn, the woman's lawyer claims she was trying to get a refund after reportedly being double-charged for food on her bank statement.

Video taken by a witness shows what happened in the moments leading up to the woman getting body slammed in the restaurant's parking lot.

Residents in the Columbia area can't seem to understand how the situation escalated to the action seen in the video.

I actually watched it about 10 times to try to get the concept of it, but I couldnt catch the concept of it, and it kind of disturbed me, so I was like, theres no reason that you should ever slam a woman that hard regardless of what she says or anything like that, Columbia Resident Mark King said.

Still in shock, he pointed out there could be more to the situation.

Stuff like that happens over, over what? I dont know, because theres two sides to every story, so you cant really say, but it shouldve been no reason that she was slammed like that, and now she in the hospital, King continued.

A spokesperson for Popeyes released the following statement about the investigation:

"We were shocked to learn about what happened in Tennessee. These actions run completely contrary to our standards and the integrity of our brand. Following an investigation, the franchisee took immediate action and we were informed that the employee has since been terminated. The entire circumstance is highly unfortunate for all involved and we hope to never see this type of behavior again."

A police report has been filed and more information on what led to the altercation is expected to be released. For now, officers are asking anyone with information or footage of the incident to call 931-560-1670.

This is a developing story. FOX 17 will update this article with the latest information.

These ppl are a joke

So now apparently, the word is out that any article about any incident at a Popeyes is going to get clicks.

You can expect a lot of them. It has nothing to do with any sandwich, there have always been altercations at Popeyes.

I guess Popeyes Chicken really is finger licking good. So finger licking good that this is probably the start of the zombie apocalypse.

just another isolated incident. Keep getting hyped over a god damn chicken sandwich.

i dont get it, if popeyes said themselves that their chicken sandwich is just 3 tenders in a bun, then why the fuck do they always run out?

So what actually happened?

This story dances around it without actually saying it.

Some people act in an extreme way and dont consider the consequences if they feel disrespected. That looks to be the case here.

Seems like it.. but there is a big disconnect between this woman getting a charge back for the double charge error and someone body slamming her...

I can only assume she said something to this guy, but that is just an assumption and I can't just go with that.

Then there's also the part where the employee who double charged her got fired. Though that could be chalked up to them throwing him under the bus to save face.

What the hell
---

Poor woman
---

for some reason the video really upsets me (especially how she screams AFTER the slam, she must be in so much pain) and how the psychopath taunts her while she is on the ground, but I still had to re-watch the video a couple times, I couldn't help it... why?

At what point does the sale of this sandwich count as inciting a riot?
---

I used to live in Columbia, Tennessee as a kid and this man is the same age as I am. Yikes.

---

Such different reactions here when its a lady

---

Just more poor people and their fighting in fast food restaurants or the parking lot.
---

She got what she deserved. Maybe keep your racism to yourself next time.

Something isn't right here. A chicken sandwich shouldn't cause this.

The woman had eaten at Popeye's on Sunday, paying $13.11 for a meal of corn, biscuits, chicken tenders and apple pies. When she returned home, she noticed she had been billed twice.

huh, i remember reading similar case about this but it's an old man in McD or KFC recently about 3-4 days ago.
he goes on a racist tirade to a girl wearing a hood, and when he was leaving he dropped the N-bomb so the boys jumped at him when he exit the building.
is this some kind of trend among the old racists?

Hold up. Maybe the assaulter is really the victim, though. It's possible that the 55-year old woman called him a gay slur.

Nothing the woman said could have warranted her being body slammed like that, guy has some serious anger issues.

Drugs.
LOTS and LOTS of drugs.

Companies need to be held responsible for any injuries a customer receives while on their premises, even if it's from another customer.

If their sales practices are causing violent actions, then their practices need to be adjusted. People shouldn't die on Black Friday and the companies aren't held responsible for the sales practices that incite violence.

Communism has bread lines, capitalism has chicken sandwich brawls.

The important thing is the thug was arrested, fired and hopefully future job prospects will refuse to hire him. :)

Would hire him in a second. People like you think calling black people racial slurs is nothing. Sometimes you reap what you sow

There is no racial slur in the world that warrants a grown man picking up and slamming a much smaller woman to the ground resulting in numerous broken bones..

And from what I read, they called her a "Ugly Broken Down Cracker", so it appears that racial slurs were thrown in both directions..

Here is the full video both inside and outside..

You're literally responding to the most militant racist on all of Gamefaqs. Just put him on ignore like all other rational people and move on

It seems like this lady was double charged for food and went back to get a refund and judging by the video inside before she's kicked out and slammed she must have called the guy a racial slur for black people

Im also gonna assume she called him one again prompting the attack. So basically they're both trash human beings that let a few dollars escalate into her doing to the hospital and him being charged with a felony

Lol, stop. Not only does your scenario presuppose that she not only hurled a racist slur, but that she also did it twice, and that those actions (if they even happened) warranted an attack that could have killed her. That's silly, especially when we consider the attack happened outside the establishment.
