LEXINGTON, Ky. — The University of Kentucky is investigating what it called a "disturbing incident" captured on video over the weekend. 

Early Sunday morning at Boyd Residence Hall, an intoxicated young woman, who is white, was caught on video physically assaulting and hurling racial slurs toward a Black student desk clerk.

The video was posted to Twitter and TikTok where it quickly went viral. In it, the intoxicated student appears to resist and physically assault a Black student desk worker in the residence hall. The student spouts a string of racial slurs and other derogatory comments, which include explicit language, according to the video.

Editor's Note: The following video contains explicit language.

The victim, Kylah Spring, identified as Instagram user ky.janalise, posted the altercation and aftermath to her Instagram story. The intoxicated woman was also identified as Sophia Rosing, also a UK student. In posts shared to Spring's story, students allege Rosing bit at Spring and responding police officers. They also called for Rosing to be expelled.

UK Police arrested the woman who now faces criminal charges, UK President Eli Capilouto said Sunday. Capilouto also commended the desk worker for her professionalism and restraint.

"Our Student Success teams are reaching out to the student victims who were subject to this behavior to offer support," Capilouto said in a statement.

Rosing was charged with first and second offenses of public intoxication, third-degree assault of a police officer, fourth-degree assault and second-degree disorderly conduct, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

The University of Kentucky said in a series of tweets that the safety and well-being of students is top of mind, and more details would be shared as they come to light.
