A La Romaine plumber was left sifting through the ruins of his home on Sunday after a fire reduced the structure to rubble, while residents turned their anger on a Venezuelan migrant woman they believed was responsible, dragging and beating her in the street.
The incident, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, sparked outrage.
The footage shows a man pushing the petite woman along George Street before lifting her and slamming her onto the roadway.
