A white University of Kentucky student has been arrested after she was caught on camera hurling racial slurs at a fellow Black student who was working as a desk clerk.

Sophia Rosing was arrested Sunday and charged with two counts of assault, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct in connection with the assault, WDRB-TV reported.

A video shared on Twitter shows Rosing repeatedly yelling racial slurs at the victim, who is seen trying to process what's happening as she holds the former by her arms.

"Could you stop?" asks the victim in disbelief. "Nope," Rosing responds. "I do not get paid enough for this," the victim says, as Rosing hurls more slurs. "I got this all on video," a third person is heard saying.

"University of Kentucky student Sophia Rosing arrested and charged after assaulting another student who was at work and calling her a "N***er bi*ch," the video's description read.

The incident took place at the university's Boyd Hall while the victim was working an overnight shift.

Cops identified Rosing through College Fashionista, a University of Kentucky beauty community of which she had been a member. The group released a statement condemning Rosing's actions and said she was terminated indefinitely.

"We vehemently denounce this abhorrent behavior and do not condone racism or hate in any form. We unapologetically stand in support of BIPOC communities and affirm that Black lives matter," the statement read.

University of Kentucky President Eli Capiluto said authorities were investigating the incident.

"We condemn this behavior and will not tolerate it under any circumstance. The safety and well-being of our community have been — and will continue to be — our top priority," he said in a statement Sunday. "We will fully investigate what happened last night, but we also must learn from this moment and do better as a community."

Rosing is currently being held at the Fayette County Detention Centre on a $10,000 bond.
