WASHINGTON—A cyclist whose videotaped confrontation with three youngsters posting flyers protesting racial injustice on a nature trail outside Washington drew widespread attention has been arrested and charged, police said late Friday.

The Maryland-National Capital Park Police said Anthony Brennan III, 60, was charged with three counts of second-degree assault over the incident in which a beefy, sunglasses-sporting cyclist appears to loom over a young woman as someone off-camera yells, “Do not touch her! Do not touch her!”
