TPreston Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A Bloomington man is charged with second-degree assault after authorities say he lunged at another man, slashed him multiple times with a knife and bit his face, later telling police he "hates Muslims." Kelvin Porter, 47, told officers on his way to jail that he "tried to stab the Somalian in the neck" and that he was trying to kill him, according to the criminal complaint. The incident happened around 11:20 p.m. last Friday near 19th and Riverside in MInneapolis. Police were dispatched on a weapons call and later reviewed the incident on a nearby safe zone camera, being operated by an officer . The officer operating the camera saw a man with a knife on the sidewalk arguing with another man, before he raised his fists to his chest and lunged at the victim. The man then attempted to stab the victim several times. The victim suffered slash wounds to his forehead, abdomen, left shoulder and right ear and was bitten in the face by the suspect, according to the charges. A third person on the sidewalk approached the two men while they were in a struggle and threw a garbage can at the suspect, allowing the victim to flee on foot. Porter was taken into custody. http://www.kare11.com/news/charges-man-stabs-bites-victim-says-he-hates-muslims/426204192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
