“Thank you for your vigilance and sending us a video of an incident that happened at Grand Imperial Hotel. We have arrested the suspect, Jimmy Taylor, an American citizen,” Ugandan Police said on Twitter.

A video of the racist American pastor emerged online showing him pursuing a hotel employee and slapping him several times on claims that he “disgraced Jesus.”

The Ugandan man, who is referred to in the video as Francis, remained calm the entire time, even as Taylor kept calling him derogatory names.

In the video, the racist American pastor kept trying to aggravate Francis but no no avail.

This makes him more angry and he slaps the employee on the back of his head.

A man in a blue shirt who attempted to intervene is caught in the tussle as Taylor tells him off.

““NO! NO! You obey what I say. I don’t obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b**** Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you,” the American says.

At one point, he even tries to hug the man in the blue shirt amidst the insults.
