A Los Angeles jail inmate is facing hate crime charges over a sickening attack on a female Asian American custody worker when she tried to hand him toilet paper.
Arnulfo Meza, 29, attacked the 54-year-old woman, who has not been named, without warning on Wednesday at the Los Angeles County sheriff’s Inmate Reception Center.
Shocking surveillance footage shows Meza raining punches on his helpless victim before casually walking toward a gurney where he allowed other jail workers to restrain him.
Meza's left hand had been freed from his waist chain after he asked to use the restroom, a county Sheriff's Department statement said.
