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 a statement to The Daily Beast, family attorney Alicia LeDuc Montgomery said 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, “unprovoked,” and without warning by a white man he didn’t recognize.
