Tennessee Man Charged with Assault After Mother Calls Police on Black Worker In Parking Garage
“When he attacked me, he swung, he almost hit me in the face,” Martinez told The Daily Beast. “He broke this bottle opener off of my keys. When I went to go pick it up, he lunged.”
Bitsy would eventually call the police on Martinez after her son told him to “Get the f**k out of my building.” The mom can be heard describing the encounter to the police in the video saying that Martinez got “nasty” with the pair.
“There’s some gentleman down here, we asked him what he was doing down here and he said it was none of our business and he’s kind of gotten nasty towards us,” she says to the 911 operator. “We kind of, are trying to figure out why this person’s in the parking deck. He will not tell us why he’s here…and he will not show us his ID. It’s a secure building.”
Once the 911 dispatcher appeared to ask whether she was security, Bitsy replied, “I’m not security, no! I live in this building and this person’s walking around down here…” Martinez responded, “Tell them that the person’s Black!”
In Martinez’s YouTube video, he “waited at the property about 40 minutes for Metro PD where I filed a police report and will be pressing charges,” by the time officers arrived the mother and son were already gone.
On Dec. 2 police put out an arrest warrant for Edward on charges of assault claiming that “a reasonable person would regard the contact as extremely offensive or provocative,” which caused Martinez to fear “imminent bodily injury.”
