It said, “Based off of the information we retrieved from an audio recording on WhatsApp, Gracie stated that the aggressor was a black/dark-skinned man who was yelling at him to “speak English here”. In the audio recording, Gracie stated that the young man accused him of speaking badly about him in Portuguese. Gracie responded saying that his accusation was ridiculous and racist.”
“A fight ensued. According to Gracie, the man begged to be let go from a Kata Gatame saying “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe”. While controlling him Gracie made the assailant apologize and released him saying “you see, you’re a nice guy. Why are you doing this? Why are you so impolite?”
