A man dressed as a Nazi SS officer was kicked out of a Georgia bar after allegedly breaking a woman’s nose with a beer glass.
Kenneth Leland Morgan, 33, was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning following an altercation outside of Cutters Pub in Athens, Georgia.
In footage shared to social media, Morgan is seen dressed in a black Nazi SS uniform, complete with a military cap and a red armband emblazoned with a swastika.
He was spotted arguing with one woman as he was forced out of the bar by a crowd of what appear to be college students.
Several men crowded round Morgan and pushed him down the sidewalk, while he clutched a beer glass in his hand.
The crowd shouted obscenities at Morgan, who then swung the large glass at the face of a woman, later identified as student Grace Lang.
According to Lang, who spoke with Red & Black, she lunged at him to pull his armband off and he managed to break her nose in the process.
She told the outlet that she had been sitting outside the bar with friends, one of whom is Jewish, when they noticed Morgan walk past in full Nazi regalia.

She said: ‘They get into a yelling match, and it is just him and two women smaller than him. I get up and go to get in between them, and use my body as a blockade to keep him from coming in.
‘I reach to rip off the armband, as that is the identifying factor that changed it from a soldier ‘costume’ to an unacceptable display of hate.
‘He is grinning ear to ear the entire time, including while assaulting me. He continued to try and pull and hit me but was pulled off by my friends.
‘My nose was broken by the pitcher and I had to get four stitches on my bridge when I went to the emergency room, and it’s difficult to breathe through right now
‘I have a large welt on my left cheek, my eye is black and swollen shut and my neck and head have ached since.’
According to Lang, Morgan was arrested as she awaited for emergency medical teams to arrive.
She told the outlet that he fled the bar on foot but police officers later caught up with him, he lost his hat in the process.
Jail records indicate that Morgan was charged with aggravated assault and simple battery.
