California man faces hate crime charges after punching 7-Eleven clerk, saying he 'hated Muslims'
"A California man was charged with a hate crime after he allegedly punched and threw hot coffee on a 7-Eleven employee on Wednesday and claimed he "hated Muslims," officials said.
John Crain, 43, had tried to walk out of the store in Marysville around 2 a.m. without paying for the cup of coffee he just poured when he was confronted by the clerk, who is actually a member of the Sikh community.
The clerk told police that Crain threw hot coffee in his face, then punched him before leaving the store.
When police located Crain later that day after another suspected assault he admitted to the attack, saying he "hated Muslims," Marysville Police told FOX40."
