Freddy Bray, a 60-year-old man who allegedly harassed an LGBTQ+-identified motorcyclist for about five minutes — even seemingly grabbing him in a shocking viral TikTok video that has been viewed over 1.8 million times — was reportedly convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge and punished with one year of probation, according to the progressive social media influencer The Tennessee Holler.
TikTok user @kreemsicle, who self-identifies on the platform as an “L(G)BT rider,” recorded and posted video of the shocking incident. on Christmas Day 2025. The video shows the biker with a Santa hat hood tied around their helmet, driving on a road while recording themselves. Then, a balding, bearded, bespectacled man driving a maroon-colored truck pulls alongside the motorcycle’s right side, repeatedly pointing at the biker.

The biker tries to evade the trucker, eventually driving into a supermarket parking lot. As both men’s vehicles come to a stop, the trucker exits and approaches the biker, saying, “Get off the f**king bike,” while grabbing the cyclist’s right arm.
The cyclist then speeds away and asks other people in the parking lot, “Please call 911. This guy is trying to kill me!”

The cyclist continues recording as the marroon truck chases him around the parking lot and down an alley. The cyclist then pleads with someone on the phone to help him, saying the trucker is trying to run him over.
“I’m about to pull my f**king gun on his a** — help me!” the cyclist yells into his phone. Though the cyclist briefly stops to continue asking someone on the phone for police assistance, the maroon truck then resumes its pursuit, forcing the cyclist to keep driving for his safety.
The truck driver eventially pulls up once more to the cyclist and yells at him, saying he wants to talk. As the cyclist walks into the nearby Walgreens’ drug store — leaving his motorcycle running in the parking lot — the trucker eventually drives away just as a drug store employee exits the store and looks around.
@kreemsicle Long video of how Christmas in the south went for me. I was chased down, almost ran over by a man whom has been targeting me because of my LGBT status. I was quickly trying to find a way off the bike before anything majorly could happen to me physically. #fyp #biketok #tennessee #fypシ #lgbt

In the original video’s caption, @kreemsicle write, “[omg] video of how Christmas in the south went for me. I was chased down, almost ran over by a man whom has been targeting me because of my LGBT status. I was quickly trying to find a way off the bike before anything majorly could happen to me physically.”
The same day as the attack @kreemsicle wrote on his TikTok account that the 60-year-old attacker had been arrested; @kreemsicle identified him as Freddy Bray and said that he was released two hours after his arrest. The Tennessee Holler wrote that @kreemsicle told them that the man in the truck “has been harassing him for years.”
“We’re told a judge just knocked this down to misdemeanor assault with 1 yr probation,” the social media account wrote on Thursday. “So basically the guy in the truck who chased this gay man for 5 full minutes will face no repercussions.”
