MINERAL WELLS, TX — A suspect was arrested after stabbing a man outside a bar after he was kicked out of for allegedly using racial slurs.
According to Fox 4, 27-year-old Montana Amburn was escorted out of Mickey’s Pub on Wednesday night after he made “racially offensive statements.”
As he was escorted out of the pub by bar managers he kept arguing with employees and people outside the establishment.
Amburn then confronted a woman and stabbed her husband when he tried to intervene.
The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Amburn was arrested and charged for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in addition to having a parole violation. He could also face hate crime charges.
“Mineral Wells PD has received a number of inquiries in regard to charging this individual with a hate crime,” the department said in a statement. “In accordance with Texas Code of Criminal procedure, the designation of an offense being committed because of bias or prejudice is decided during the guilt/innocence phase of the trial, not at the time of arrest.”
Amburn is currently at the Palo Pinto Jail and is being held on a $75,000 bond.
