A recent post on Facebook shows a photo of an injured woman with a text that claims Floyd assaulted her. The June 14 post claims Aracely Henriquez "was the woman kidnapped and brutally beaten during a home invasion by George Floyd and his accomplices as they searched her home for drugs and money."
The post then goes on to claim Henriquez was pregnant at the time and that Floyd threatened to kill her baby.
False claims surrounding Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody and protests have also surfaced online and have been previously debunked by USA TODAY.

The woman pictured in the viral post is not Henriquez; her name is Andrea Sicignano.
Sicignano shared her story in December 2018, writing that she was sexually assaulted by a stranger when studying in Madrid.
