Video: Woman at Baltimore Protests Slaps Around Rioter Believed to Be Her Son

A woman was captured on video hitting a young man many think is her son on a street in Baltimore.

Fox News posted the video to its Facebook page Tuesday morning and it quickly went viral, accruing over 1.5 million views at the time of this article's publication.

The woman is heard cursing at the man, who is wearing all black. She slaps him several times in the head. As he attempts to get away from her, she catches up and grabs him by his shoulders.

It's difficult to get much context for the confrontation from the video, as the audio is heavily edited due to the woman's cursing.

According to Fox News, people on social media have come to the conclusion that the man in the video is the woman's son and she is presumably trying to make him come home.
