A Charlotte felon with at least nine arrests since October 2023 allegedly filmed himself punching women on the sidewalk, posted the footage to social media, and taunted his victims — and was still walking free until this week. Ordinary Americans keep asking how many chances the system gives a violent repeat offender before somebody ends up dead. The answer, in Mecklenburg County, appears to be: at least ten and counting.
Di-Quan Schafar Hunt, 32, was arrested Thursday after Charlotte-Mecklenburg police responded to an attempt-to-locate call and were shown a social media account containing videos detectives had already been investigating, according to Fox News. One video depicted an assault reported July 30 on East Boulevard: a woman punched on a sidewalk, the suspect fleeing. The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries.
Fox News Digital reviewed the account's posts. One clip appears to show a woman chased until she hides behind a vehicle. A comment from the account reads: "Ahhhh feels GOOD!!!" Another video captures the cameraman confronting a woman, the camera jolting, the sound of an apparent punch, and the woman on the ground — struck again and taunted as she lies there. It is unclear whether those clips are the one tied to the July 30 charge or whether additional crimes are being investigated.
The record is the indictment. Mecklenburg County arrest logs show Hunt picked up at least nine bookings between October 2023 and December 2025. The most recent, from December 2025, lists assault with a deadly weapon, communicating threats, second-degree trespass, and two counts of carrying a concealed weapon. Before that: a simple-assault charge in September 2025, an assault-on-a-female charge in March 2025, and 2024 arrests for domestic-violence protective-order violations, breaking or entering, and injury to personal property. Hunt is a convicted felon with at least six additional misdemeanor convictions on his record.
Nine arrests in two years. A felon caught with concealed weapons. Prior charges for assaulting women. And after each brush with the system, Hunt was back on the street — allegedly chasing women down sidewalks and bragging about it online.
The other side, such as it is, amounts to silence. No Mecklenburg County prosecutor has publicly explained why Hunt kept getting released. No judge has answered for the bail decisions. CMPD says its investigation remains active and is asking the public for information about other incidents connected to the social-media account.
Hunt was taken to a medical facility for treatment after his arrest. Once released, he will be transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. How many charges he'll actually face — and whether this time he stays locked up — is the open question the public is left to wonder about while walking down the sidewalk.
