Darell Preston was on the phone with his wife and standing at LoRell’s Chicken Shack, his food truck in Portland, on June 15 when he was viciously attacked from behind.
A Black food truck owner in Oregon who says he suffered “severe” injuries in a brutal assault by an attacker screaming the N-word has hired a lawyer to probe the “sufficiency of the government’s response” after he was allegedly left to take himself to hospital.
In video footage Montgomery provided to The Daily Beast that captured the incident from across the street, a white man in a black jacket is seen beating and stomping a Black man to the ground. Cars pass by, honking their horns as the attack ensues on the sidewalk. Once the man in the jacket finishes, he walks away with his hands in his pockets, as if nothing happened.
to help raise funds for LoRell’s Chicken Shack while Preston has been unable to work. The page claims Preston had a “broken nose, fractured face, and lacerations to his eyes and mouth.” Police initially told Oregon Live they were investigating the attack but weren’t treating it as a hate crime because Preston wouldn’t give any additional details about the attack. They say they have since opened a bias crime investigation after speaking with Preston’s family. No arrest has been made.
