The alleged victim, Carlotta Washington, recorded part of the altercation with her cellphone, reports Willamette Week. In the footage, Islam Elmasy is telling her to “get the f**k away” from his truck before hurling a Gatorade bottle at her, causing her to drop her phone. Eyewitness accounts claim that he then proceeded to douse Washington with Sriracha sauce. She can be heard in the video alleging that because he “didn’t want to take coins” that he went on to “call her a n***er.”
