This guy definitely does not want the South to rise again.

A Black Lives Matter leader was arrested Wednesday after he did a Superman dive over a police barrier and attempted to snatch a Confederate flag away from a protester on live television.

Muhiyidin dBaha, 31, of South Carolina, was slapped with disorderly conduct charges as a result of the on-air incident, according to The Post and Courier.

He had been standing with a group of BLM demonstrators, outside the Sottile Theatre at the College of Charleston, before his dramatic leap was caught on camera, the local newspaper reports.

The video has since gone viral racking up thousands of retweets and mentions on Twitter.

Activist Bree Newsome, who famously climbed the South Carolina capitol flagpole to remove its Confederate flag in 2015, had been set to speak at the school Wednesday night. The event was titled, Tearing Hatred from the Sky.

Numerous demonstrators gathered at the venue in the days leading up to her lecture to protest against her. Members of the the South Carolina Secessionist Party, who were on hand, repeatedly called for the event to be canceled and even relocated their weekly Confederate flag-flying rally from their normal location to the College of Charleston, the Courier reports.

The protesters were met with several counter-demonstrations, from members of the BLM movement, Southerners on New Ground, Indivisible Charleston and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ).

Before Newsomes lecture Wednesday, a man was spotted standing outside the theater, proudly waving a Confederate flag.

DBaha, whose legal name is Muhiyidin Elamin Moye, apparently became enraged by the display and made his move just as the television cameras were rolling.

Um, you can see whats happening right now. It looks like both sides of the crowd are fighting one another, a frightened WCSC reporter can be heard saying, moments after Moye leaps over a line of police tape and tries to grab the mans flag in midair.

Police are arresting this guy, right now, she adds.

Members of the SURJ group in Charleston have been raising money online for Moyes bail. As of early Thursday, they had raised more than $3,500.
