Although Portland makes headlines for a lot of crazy antics, assaults and beatings are thankfully not the norm in this city. However, Lorell’s chicken shack owner Darell Preston was recently the victim of a suspected hate crime.

In a rather shocking and surprising attack, the well known Portland resident was attacked next to his food cart on June 15th. Onlookers who saw the assault claimed that the assailant looked like a skinhead and appeared to attack Preston from behind, completely unprovoked and with no prior interaction.

Perhaps worst of all is that after attacking the chicken shack owner from behind, the skinhead then stamped on the head of Preston causing some quite severe injuries. These photos can be viewed on the Gofundme linked below, but we have chosen not to publish them here as they are relatively graphic and most people will not want to view them. Needless to say, these injuries are very bad and not what you would expect when trying to simply do your job.

The story does not get any better, as the Lorell’s chicken instagram claims that even though this incident happened several days ago, Portland police have still not bothered to take a report on the crime or even look for the person who assaulted Preston. Therefore nobody has any idea who committed this crime, or why it happened in the first place.

If you wish to donate to the medical bills of Darell Preston, you can find his Gofundme here. Obviously at this time he is unable to work, so any and all donations are much appreciated by his family.
