An ex-University of Kentucky white female  student captured on viral video attacking a black student while firing off racist slurs was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday.

Sophia Rosing, 22, was indicted by a Fayette County grand jury on all six charges she initially faced — including assault and felony assault of a police officer, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

Rosing, a white American student, allegedly kicked, punched and bit 19-year-old student worker Kylah Spring while repeatedly calling her the n-word in a drunken escapade at a campus residence hall on Nov. 6. The late-night assault was captured on video and posted online.

The student continued her appalling behavior when police arrived and placed her in handcuffs. She allegedly kicked and bit the arresting officer in her drunken stupor.

The University of Kentucky permanently banned Rosing from campus following the racist attack.

She was indicted on one count of third-degree assault of a police officer, three counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of second-degree disorderly conduct and one count of alcohol intoxication.

Rosing is due back in court on March 17 for her arraignment.
