Colorado man charged with hate crime in stabbing of Black man.
PORTLAND, ORE. » A Colorado man has been indicted on federal hate crime charges after a Black man was stabbed in the neck in an eastern Oregon restaurant, prosecutors said.
The Oregonian/ OregonLive reported a grand jury in Eugene earlier this month indicted
26- year- old Nolan Strauss on one charge of committing a hate crime involving an attempt to kill. Court documents say on Dec. 21, 2019, the 48- year- old victim was in Ontario, Ore., waiting in the Arby’s lobby where he was applying for a job.
Strauss came up from behind and stabbed the man in the neck, prosecutors said. The attack was “unprovoked and without warning,” the U. S. Attorney’s Office said.
A struggle ensued and the man freed himself while Strauss was restrained by Arby’s employees. When asked why he had attacked the man, Strauss told an employee, “I don’t like Black people,” prosecutors said.
The victim was flown to an Idaho hospital where he had surgery for two lacerations to his neck.
Strauss is scheduled to make his first court appearance on
Oct. 20.
