Deandre Harris faces felony charges after his well-publicized beating at the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally in August.

Video footage posted to Twitter shows Harris getting beaten by protesters with shield and poles. The popularity of the footage led to two arrests. Two of those accused of involvement in the beating were arrested via social media identification, 18-year-old Daniel Borden of Cincinnati, Ohio, and 33-year-old Alex Ramos of Marietta, Georgia.
