COLDWATER, Mich. - A video is making the rounds on Facebook, apparently showing an ex-Marine telling Arab American teens in Coldwater that "I've been in Fallujah; I've killed your ******* kind."

The Arab American Newsreported the incident last week and shared their video on their Facebook page.  The incident happened on March 27 at a Coldwater gas station.

FOX 17 spoke with the teen who recorded the video, 15-year-old Ahmed Mohsen, saying he and his friends put gas money on top of the man's beer case because there wasn't room on the counter.

Mark Bartell with the Coldwater Department of Public Safety said that they are aware of the video, but that no one, either a citizen or a business, has contacted them to make a report of the incident.  Anyone with further information about the incident is asked to call them at 517-278-4525.  The department will then be able to better determine if any criminal acts were committed.
