Tensions high as White man arrested after racist rant against Black neighbor

Mount Laurel, New Jersey — A white man seen on a video pushing a Black neighbor with his chest and using racist slurs to address the neighbor and others Friday has been arrested.

Edward C. Mathews, 45, was arrested Monday evening after hundreds of protesters gathered outside his Mount Laurel townhome for several hours, CBS Philly reports. Things got tense as Mathews was led out by police. "Now, what I did was not acceptable. It's completely wrong," Mathews is seen saying in another video taken by a protester on Monday before his arrest.
