As the officers were talking to McGhee, two people walked up to the officers and explained that they were assaulted by him. McGhee then ran from police and was pursued on foot, eventually caught a few blocks away at Northwest Naito Boulevard and Couch Street.
The victims, both transgender females, told police that McGhee approached them as they tried to pass by him on the sidewalk and began yelling ant-gay slurs and profanity at them. He then pulled off his belt and started swinging a large metal buckle at them.
Gee, I wonder why he got pepper sprayed then arrested ;)
