Black man stabbed by white man in Texas who uttered multiple racist comments: police

A white man allegedly repeatedly stabbed a black man at a Texas bar after making multiple racist comments and confronting the victim’s wife, according to police.

The man, Montana Amburn, 27, allegedly “made severally racially offensive statements just before management at the bar began escorting him out,” according to a statement from the Mineral Wells Police Department Thursday.

The incident occurred late Wednesday in Mineral Wells, Texas, west of Fort Worth.

“An altercation ensued with the bar’s manager as the suspect was led out of the bar. Once outside, the suspect continued to berate other patrons, including the victim and his wife. At one point, the suspect confronted the victim’s wife and, according to witnesses, the suspect stabbed the victim as he intervened,” the statement said.

Amburn allegedly made several statements about “White Power,” according to a local CBS affiliate.

The victim, who was not identified by name, is a 33-year-old black male, according to police. He was transported to an area hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries,” although he sustained multiple stab wounds.  

The victim was stabbed in his hand and elbow, according to the CBS outlet.

Amburn was located “several hours later at a residence” in the Texas city. Police reported finding him with “a head injury and medical attention was requested.” He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police said the decision of whether to charge the man with a hate crime is not made at the time of an arrest.
