SAN RAMON, Calif. (KRON) — Two people enjoying food at an In-N-Out Burger in California faced racist language and threats on Christmas Eve.

Arine Kim and her friend filmed themselves trying menu items at an In-N-Out restaurant in San Ramon. She said that’s when a man approached them and said, “Are you filming yourself eating? You are weird homosexuals.

Kim and her friend laughed in shock. Shortly after, the man returned to their table and asked, “Are you Japanese or Korean?” Are you Kim Jong Un’s boyfriend? Do you have homosexual relations with him?

As the exchange continued – and the camera continued to record – Kim’s friend sassed back at one point and asked if he could take the man out to dinner. It was then that Kim realized the incident could escalate and she repeatedly asked her friend to stop engaging with the stranger. The man responded by threatening to spit in their faces.

The couple tried to ignore him, but the man later came back and introduced himself as a slave master and used a homophobic slur. He then said, “See you outside in a minute.”

Kim and her friend decided to wait until the In-N-Out store closed before leaving. The couple asked one of the staff to check outside to make sure he wasn’t expecting them yet. An employee watched them head for their car.

Kim later posted the video to her social media pages, where it caught the attention of San Ramon Police Chief Denton Carlson. Carlson retweeted her video and asked the couple to reach out. Kim said they have been in contact with police to investigate the incident.

On Sunday, Carlson tweeted a photo of the suspect. Carlson says the photo was taken on Christmas morning when the man in the picture exhibited “similar behavior”. The vehicle in the photo is a silver Mustang with Florida license plates, according to police.

Kim said it was a scary incident, but she’s glad they weren’t hurt. “My friend and I were a little shaken up after the incident, but I’m just grateful that we’re both safe and out of harm’s way.”
