Racial Attack: Indiana Man Slashed With 7-inch Knife To The Face While Trying To Find A Job!

"In late August, Elree Jones of Chicago stopped at
an Indiana convenience store to pick up some beer
when -- out of nowhere -- a man approached him and
slashed his face with a large knife.

Mark A. Neal, 50, was charged in the vicious and
seemingly random attack, and investigators told
Lafayette's Journal & Courier that Neal's motive
was unknown. NBC Chicago, however, spoke with
Jones and witnesses who say the attack was a clear
hate crime.

"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." " - NBC 5
