Police say a black delivery driver was brought to tears while recording himself and a black co-worker as they were blocked from leaving a gated Oklahoma City neighborhood for nearly an hour by a white resident who demanded to know why they were there.

The driver, Travis Miller, captured the incident while delivering furniture on Monday in a Facebook Live video that has gone viral. The 37-minute video had nearly 300,000 views by Thursday evening and had been shared more than 10,000 times.

In an interview with NBC News, Miller, 42, said that his customer in Edmond gave him the code to get through the neighborhood's gate. After completing the delivery and as they were trying to exit, a man who identified himself as David Stewart and a board member of the homeowners' association can be seen on the video questioning Miller and his co-worker about why they were on his street.

Milled added. "My intention was never to go viral. My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did.""My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did."
