This incident occurred Monday, August 10 inside the El Taurino restaurant in Hoover St. near Koreatown, Los Angeles.
A Korean woman, surname “Lee” explained what happened “This afternoon, I was verbally and almost physically assaulted by a stranger due to the color of my skin. While I was waiting in line to order food, the person next to me handed me their card and said let’s have lunch together. I declined and said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m married.’”
The antagonist, who identified himself as Fredrick Douglas Smith then snatched his card back from Lee’s hand and started screaming obscenities at her. At one point, she looked at the other men waiting in line behind Smith and asked “Can you help me?”
Smith interrupted her pleas for help and said “Go back to Asia! You fu**ing bi*ch! You motherfu*ker.”
