A man has been charged with breaking Ohio's Covid-19 lockdown after shouting 'we don't give a f**k about coronavirus ' while partying in the street.
Rashaan Davis, 25, filmed himself drinking and dancing with others in Cincinnati, Ohio, US, on Facebook Live on Friday.
In the video he can be seen mocking the state's tough measures to tackle the outbreak, saying 'this is how we celebrate coronavirus'.
He was later arrested and charged with violating the Ohio's lockdown, police say.
In his livestream, which has been shared on YouTube, he said: "This is how we do it in my city, man. We don't give a f**k about this coronavirus."
One of the dozens of people attending the street party can be heard shouting 'man, f**k corona' in the video.
They joked that they were at 'Club Shell', referring to the petrol station they had gathered near.
The group can be seen dancing inside and on top of parked cars in the video, while two women were filmed twerking against a vehicle.
According to Mail Online, a police report on Davis' arrest said: "This particular offense is egregious in nature due to the fact arrested publicly acknowledged the COVID-19 pandemic and incited others to violate the "stay at home" order.
Many of the viewers who watched the livestream commented on how they hoped Davis caught the disease for openly flouting the lockdown.
Some blasted those attending the party as irresponsible, while others said celebrations were taking place all over the city.
Davis is being held without bond at the Hamilton County Justice Center, in Ohio.
