A black American tourist named Bakari Henderson, 22, was beaten to death by a mob on the Greek island of Zakynthos for speaking to a Serbian waitress, Daily Mail reports.
Video shows Henderson running from the mob when he’s body-slammed by one of the attackers. Men then punch and kick him for 20 seconds until a woman tells them to stop.
A security guard was charged with homicide in the beating. He says the attack happened after Serbians got upset that Henderson and his friends were talking to a Serbian waitress.

Henderson was from Austin, Texas. He’d just graduated from the University of Arizona in Tucson in May with a degree in Business Finance and Entrepreneurship.
