A video that went viral on TikTok shows a man slapping a woman on a job site in Phoenix. The incident was caught on camera and quickly spread like wildfire across social media, prompting outrage and calls for immediate action, with people stunned that the man, who owns a construction firm called BPH Construction LLP, would get physical with someone that appears to be an employee. The man in the video has since been identified as Brent Michael Hospelhorn, who, according to AZ Central, was detained, before being released and handed a citation to appear in court “at a later date.”
The incident took place at a construction site in Phoenix, where Hospelhorn was working. In the disturbing video, he is seen losing his temper before slapping a woman who appears to have had some sort of dispute with him. The furious man can be seen walking toward the employee, raising his hand, and striking her across the face before walking away. The video quickly went viral on TikTok and other social media platforms, sparking outrage and condemnation.

The incident has raised concerns about workplace safety and violence against women, with many calling for a more robust response from employers to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Over on TikTok, people are urging for others to come together and put pressure on the police department to file charges but open an investigation given by the clear evidence of assault seen in the video. Over on Twitter, many were left puzzled how an altercation as serious as this has gone unnoticed by law enforcement officials, as they hope for justice to be served.
The incident has also sparked a larger conversation about the role of social media in holding individuals accountable for their actions. The video’s widespread distribution and subsequent police involvement demonstrate the power of social media to bring attention to important issues and hold individuals accountable for their behavior.
While some have criticized the use of social media as a means of public shaming, others see it as an important tool for promoting justice and accountability.

Assault at work is a serious issue that affects millions of employees in the United States. The crime rate in the US has been on the rise, and workplace violence is a significant contributor to this trend. According to recent statistics, nearly 2 million people in the US report being assaulted at work each year. This alarming figure highlights the urgent need for employers to take steps to protect their employees from harm.
Assault at work can take many forms, from physical violence to verbal abuse and threats. In some cases, it can even lead to serious injury or death.
Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe working environment for their employees, but many fail to take adequate measures to prevent violence in the workplace. This can lead to a culture of fear and anxiety among those working for them, which can have a negative impact on their mental health and productivity.
