Remember that guy who recently went viral for screaming about Sharia law and Donald Trump at a Muslim family?

Well, it turns out that he was promptly arrested following the incident.

Noria Alward, 19, posted the video on YouTube with the following description: "We were staying at the South Padre Pearl hotel and went to the beach through their private access."

"My father was approached by two [women] who were also enjoying their time. The women asked him to help with talking to a stranger who was harassing them. All my father said to the guy was, 'Please enjoy your time and have fun and let everyone else here enjoy their time.' The guy seemed to listen and walked away. He then came back to my father and started throwing racist comments."

As you can see, the man - now identified as Alexander Dowling - screams: "Guess what? You will never, ever, ever stop my Christianity from rising above your Sharia law.

"Your Sharia law don't mean shit to me! Guess what? Guess what? ISIS don't mean shit to me, motherfuckers!"

He adds: "Donald Trump will stop you. Donald Trump will stop you! Donald Trump got you motherfuckers. Watch... watch."

The family phoned the police after the incident, and were particularly concerned by the fact that he was grabbing his crotch and telling the group to 'suck my dick' in front of several young children.

"My country is the greatest country in the world," before thumping his chest repeatedly with his fists, and shouting, "Come fuck with Donald Trump. That's my motherfucking president!"

Despite being arrested, and getting a mugshot that seems to be perfect for his holiday album, the following day he was spotted in the lobby of the hotel where the family were staying.

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Ahmed (who didn't want to reveal his surname) said: "I want people to also know that the hotel did not do anything to protect us."

He explained that hotel staff had promised to evict Downing from his hotel room upon his return from the police station. Ahmed added: "We will definitely go back to the beautiful island but will never go back to the Pearl Hotel."

The hotel claim that Downing checked out the next day and that the employees on shift weren't aware of the event as it took place on a public beach.
