A white man has been arrested following a heated dispute with a black woman, which was prompted after she parked up on her motorcycle near her home in Dorchester, Boston.
54-year-old Paul Sheehan was filmed telling motorcyclist NeNeJudge'Mayo 'I'll fucking knock you out', challenging her on why she was in his neighbourhood.

According to the Dorchester Reporter, the incident began about half an hour after a car pursued by the police smashed into another car and a fence.
A police report obtained by the Reporter states that police officer James Doiron was blocking traffic at the corner of Chelmsford Street and Adams Street around 10.30pm when he spotted Sheehan screaming at two motorcyclists, a black male and a black female, who had apparently pulled over on the side of the road.
Posting a video of the incident to Facebook, Judge'Mayo wrote: "All I did was pull over my motorcycle to park and this man went crazy asking me why am I in his neighborhood.
"He was even more mad I was on a motorcycle. I think I had a case of racist profiling."

Urging others to share the footage, she added: "Maybe one of his co workers will see it! This was at the corner of Adams St and Chelmsford st in Dorchester. You would of thought I was outside my neighborhood."
In the shocking video - which has now racked up almost 800,000 views - the man can be heard yelling: "This is my fucking neighbourhood. You're going to bring this fucking shit into my neighbourhood? No!"
As he repeatedly asks Judge'Mayo if she lives in the neighbourhood, she says: "You don't know me."

Pacing on the street, the man then says that he doesn't want to get shot, before adding: "Do it! Take your best fucking shot. I'll fucking knock you out."
Even after Officer Doiron intercepts, the man continues to rant, shouting as he points up the street: "We just had a fucking shooting up there. I don't want this fucking shit in my neighborhood."
According the Boston Police Department report, Sheehan was also heard repeatedly yelling: "Fuck that n****r."
While Sheehan was arrested for disorderly conduct on Friday Night, Boston Police have said that he could face hate crime charges following the public row.

Keolis, the company that Sheehan works for said that it had begun a process to remove him from service.
"As a local employer and a company providing a service to the public, we have absolutely no tolerance for this type of reprehensive conduct or language in or outside the workplace," spokesman Justin Thompson said.
"The matter is under investigation and we don't comment on personnel matters."
