A black security guard has decided to leave Portland, Oregon, after enduring multiple instances of racial violence since relocating there last year. The most recent attack resulted in significant injuries to his chest and hand.
Marcus Evans was attacked by a pit bull, allegedly on the command of its white owner, Zachary Hay, on Mother’s Day.
Hay, 29, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and bias crime after Evans reported that Hay called him the N-word and then ordered his dog to attack him on Mother’s Day.
