A Black Lives Matter activist appeared to cause a ruckus at an event being held by black leaders in support of South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Black Lives Matter supporters had gathered to protest the event just as a man stole the microphone from councilwoman Sharon McBride.

'Who chose these people as the black leaders?' the man shouted on the microphone. 'Who organized this?'

The questions immediately drew cries and jeers from the gathered audience and at one point in the video, a black woman held up her cane and threatened to attack the man.

Moments later, the microphone was taken from the unnamed protester who got demonstrators to chant 'This is a farce!'

Buttigieg has been criticized by black community leaders in South Bend in the past.

The mayor has struggled to gain ground with black voters after he faced tough questions in South Bend after the shooting of an African-American man by a white South Bend police officer.

Eric Logan, a black man, was shot by South Bend Cop Ryan O’Neill, who is white.

Authorities have said O'Neill was responding to a report of a person breaking into cars on June 16 and confronted the 54-year-old Logan, and that the officer said he shot Logan after he refused orders to drop a knife.

The shooting prompted Buttigieg, who's seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, to leave the campaign trail for several days to answer questions about public safety and race.

The man had to be restrained by other people who were present at the event but it was tough

Earlier this year BLM protesters also demonstrated in South Bend to talk about their experiences with police brutality.

During his first term in office, he fired the city's first black police chief and was criticized for his handling of past shootings involving police officers and the lack of diversity in the city's police department.

He was also criticized for prioritizing South Bend's downtown over its suburban neighborhoods and for issues of housing, crime and inequality.

Forty percent of South Bend residents are black or Hispanic, but the police department is almost 90% white.

Desperate to get his campaign back on track, during the summer Buttigieg held a focus group with 24 black Democratic primary voters in South Carolina, and only one of them said they would consider voting for Buttigieg.

The others claimed his sexuality – and especially his openness about it – is an issue with them.

Buttigieg also recently faced backlash after his campaign used a stock image of a black woman on its website when promoting his plan to battle race inequality in the U.S., but the woman in the photo is actually from Kenya.
