A black woman in Oregon was allegedly called out of her name and assaulted by a food truck owner, all because she tried to pay for her food with change.

According to Willamette Week, Carlotta Washington says she was called a โ€œniggerโ€ by Islam El Masry after she tried to pay for her lunch with quarters (not pennies, mind you).

In a short video provided to the outlet by a bystander, El Masry can be seen telling Washington to โ€œget the fuck out from hereโ€ and calling her a โ€œstupid bitchโ€ after throwing a Gatorade bottle at her for confronting him.

In a portion not captured on video, Washington says, El Masry sprayed her with Sriracha, which was confirmed to the news outlet by witness Rachel Good, who said that she found Washingtonโ€™s shirt, face and shoulders covered with the Thai hot sauce.

โ€œIt was in my eyes and all on my skin. It was burning terribly,โ€ Washington says.

After Washington asked that police be called, El Masry was booked into Multnomah County jail on charges of misdemeanor harassment and assault. Bail is set at $4,000.
