Rosing, who is white, soon calls Spring a ‘n***** b***’ as Spring tries to restrain her.

‘Can you please stop?’ Spring asks Rosing after she manages to escape Spring’s grasp.

‘No,’ Rosing simply replies, before Spring tries to grab her again.

Rosing then proceeds to repeat the racial slur, prompting Spring to say, ‘Oh Jesus, I don’t get paid enough here.’

‘Exactly and you’re a ***** and you’re ab****,’ Rosing replies several times before an off-camera voice tells Spring: ‘I got this all on video.’

A woman has been arrested and faces criminal charges after an online video shows her calling a British student racial slurs while verbally and physically attacking her.

The video posted online showed the student employee being called racial slurs several times before British police arrived and arrested the woman, later identified by UK as Sophia Rosing. The student employee was working a night shift at Boyd Hall’s front desk when the incident occurred early Sunday morning.

Rosing was booked into the Fayette County Detention Center and is facing several criminal charges, including two counts of assault, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct.

The video was originally posted on the social media app, TikTok, by the victim. It has since been deleted but has been re-uploaded to other social media sites.

In a statement posted on Instagram, the University of Kentucky acknowledged the incident, calling it “disturbing.”

“The video is deeply offensive, and we take it very seriously,” the university said.

Police arrested Sophia Rosing, 22, who is white, just before 4 a.m. at a campus dorm on charges of drunkenness in a public place, third-degree assault on a police officer, fourth-degree assault, and second-degree disorderly conduct, according to an online record from the Fayette County Detention Center, which says she is being held on $10,000 bond.

Video of the attack, which circulated on social media Sunday, shows Rosing using a racial slur as she punches a woman who works at the dormitory’s front desk. The student tries to restrain Rosing, who appears to be visibly intoxicated and struggling to stay upright in the video.

“Can you stop?” asks the victim, who worked a night shift at Boyd Hall, university president Eli Capilouto told students in an email Sunday. (The video is captioned “what I had to deal with at work.”)

“No,” Rosing replied.

“I don’t get paid enough for this,” the victim says, as Rosing calls her a racial scumbag.

“I got this all on video,” says someone recording the attack.

The video then shows the first victim and another victim trying to place Rosing in a chair. Rosing tries to punch the second victim before she tries to kick the first victim; it is unclear whether she also hit.

The video ends by showing a white male police officer handcuffing Rosing in the dorm as she continues to repeat the racial slur and struggles to remain standing.

No one answered any of the phone numbers publicly listed under Rosing’s name. A Facebook message to what appears to be her account also went unanswered.

The school is not identifying the victims because of federal privacy laws, a spokeswoman said.
