   BOWIE, Md. — Police in Bowie, Maryland say they just arrested a   
   suspect in a violent attack that they believe was racially   
   motivated.   
      
   Bowie police detained 26-year-old Marcus Crews in D.C. Thursday   
   afternoon.   
      
   The attack happened Wednesday in the middle of a Giant   
   supermarket on Annapolis Road. The suspect allegedly attacked a   
   young, interracial couple, screaming that the Black man was   
   betraying his race by dating a White woman.

   Police in the Prince George's County suburb said it does not   
   matter who commits a racist assault, they will not tolerate hate   
   crime.   
      
   "I was just shopping in Giant with my girlfriend," one of the   
   victims, who wants to be identified by his first name, Avery,   
   told WUSA9 in an exclusive interview.   
      
   Avery is Black, and he said he was shopping on Wednesday morning   
   with his White girlfriend, when another Black man ran his cart   
   into him.   
      
   "[He] bumped into my cart, bumped into me," Avery said. "I asked   
   him what his problem was, and he pulled out a knife."   
      
   Avery said the man started yelling at him.   
      
   "He said I'm a betrayal of my kind for messing with a White   
   girl," Avery said, which he described as infuriating. "If you   
   think there's something wrong with somebody for messing with   
   another race, you're just as bad as the racist people yourself   
   bro. That's racist."   
      
   Police said the attacker then lunged with the knife toward   
   Avery's girlfriend, and Avery stepped in to protect her.   
      
   "He did what I think most of us would like to think we would do   
   if our significant other was threatened," Bowie Police Lt. John   
   Knott said. "He stepped in between."   
      
   "We wrestled around with it for a while," Avery said. "Then he   
   stabbed me in my butt. Then he ran out of the store."   
      
   The alleged attacker escaped, but police believe they know who   
   he is. They said he faces assault and concealed deadly weapon   
   charges, and that they will be consulting with prosecutors on a   
   hate crime count.   
      
   "I haven't seen anything like this in my entire career, which   
   spans 33 years in Prince George's County," Lt. Knott said.
