A Chicago man is claiming that he was the victim of a hate crime when he was cut with a knife across his face at an Indiana convenience store.

That man, 50-year-old Mark Neal, was arrested and charged with the vicious attack on Elree Jones.

“He just slashed my face. I still had my phone in my hand. He slashed my face and I dropped the phone,” Jones told NBC. “After he slashed my face, I was in shock. He kept going, so I was blocking [him]… he slashed me in my arm.”

Jones told NBC he ran from the store, but Neal followed him with “hatred in his eyes and venom spewing from his mouth.”
