Pipe-Wielding White Man Tries to Attack a Black Santa Monica Man, But Escapes. Hours Later He Hits Two Black People In the Head Before Being Arrested.

A California man was arrested this month after police say he attacked three people with a metal pipe. There were two incidents police were called for, one where one man was threatened and another where two people were injured. In both cases, the suspect used racial slurs during the altercations. The Santa Monica Police Department states a white man identified as Job Uriah Taylor wreaked havoc on three people before being taken in by authorities. Now, he is charged with two counts of attempted murder, one count of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury.SMPD says Taylor was hit with hate crime allegations attached to the murder and assault charges.
