A man angry over a parking space lashed out at a black student at Santa Monica College and hurled racial slurs before getting into a physical fight.

Fredric Allan Shinerock was on the school campus to attend an opera but instead the 80-year-old white man fought with the woman calling her the n-word and throwing punches. Now the man is being investigated for a hate crime after the altercation, KTLA reported.

A video of the melee shows Shinerock screaming at the woman for parking two spaces over the line, a bystander said.

“Get out of here!” and “Who the f–k do you think you are?” Shinerock said.

The woman asked several times, “What did you call me?”

Another student, Enrique Conde recorded the video and posted it on Twitter.

A bad parking job was enough to send this old guy on a racist tirade yesterday afternoon in the parking lot of the Broad Stage in Santa Monica. In addition to the slurs, the man was yelling “Go back to South LA” and that the lady “didn’t belong here.” Crazy. pic.twitter.com/YL6gfm9u6t
