According to him, as the police questioned his friend, they also set him aside to question his sexuality as part of the interrogation, having asked if they were gay partners.
He explained that he was terrified by the encounter with the police but they ultimately allowed him to go scot-free after realising he had just met the guy and had no association with him.

"They grabbed the guy pushed him to the wall and I said 'What's going on?’ There was one policewoman who took me to the side and asked me 'do you know this man?' and I said ‘I haven't done anything',” Freezy said in a video shared on TikTok.
“Honestly I was scared. I was shitting myself, I'm not going to lie. I was peeing and my hand was shaking like that. I am innocent, I know where I'm coming from. I'm a black man and they handcuffed a white man. Black man is safe.”
He added: "They separated us and a policewoman said 'calm down, calm down. You are going to be alright. I said 'I don't know him. I helped him a week ago and he gave me his number. I don't know him’. So they could feel my accent and see the way I talk."
"And one of them asked me "Is he your boyfriend?" and I said, ‘what do you mean boyfriend?’ And that time I didn't know anything about gay...They said gay and I said 'what is gay?’...I grew up in the village so I didn't know gay. Who is going to be gay in the village? What is wrong with you?”
Freezy Macbones further disclosed that when he was finally let go by the Police, he “ran like Usain Bolt” to the house.
