The white New Jersey man captured on video pushing and making racist remarks toward a Black neighbor was taken into custody on Monday by Mt. Laurel police. According to police Chief Steve Riedner, arresting 45-year-old Edward Cagney Mathews was difficult because a number of protesters and community members had gathered outside of the man’s home after he yelled his address in the viral video that captured his July 2 encounter with a Black neighbor. “It was a difficult situation to extract him,” said Riedner. “Unfortunately some in the crowd made it more dangerous for everybody.” Edward Cagney Mathews has been arrested after going on a racist rant in front of a neighbor’s home in his New Jersey community.
