From Instagram: Full context: Cwell has owned a gas station in Oakland for about 20 years. He says when this guy came in trying to use a pile of quarters to pay for his gas. When his employee said she couldn't accept the change because it wouldn't fit into the tilll the man appears to grow more irritated.
⠀ Cwell came out to smooth things over but he says the man started using more racially-charged words. He followed him outside to record his license plate and that's when things turned nasty.
⠀ Cwell says the man tried to back up his van into him-- and noticed the man reaching into his pocket for something. Cwell got a spray bottle of cleaner to defend himself but it was too late. Surveillance video shows the man spray what looks like pepper spray in Cwell's face.
