Police Arrest Black Man Wearing Trump Hat For Attacking Hispanic Man

New York City Police have arrested a Black man who they say attacked a Hispanic man and then pushed him into the railroad tracks in the Subway in Manhattan according to The Root.

Subway footage allegedly caught Ames in early April getting into an argument with a 24-year-old Hispanic man on the Subway platform. In the video, Ames is seen wearing a Trump campaign hat and t-shirt allegedly yelling, “You f-ing Mexicans. You come here and you take our jobs. You bring drugs.”

This is not the first time that Ames has had a run-in with police. In the past, he has been picked up on assault and drug possession. The victim suffered a laceration to the head after being pushed onto the railroad track. A friend and a bystander helped him out and he received treatment at a nearby hospital.
