You are a disgusting dog. You look nasty. Do not come out like this in public again he said while spitting at Jayaraman's face twice. Jayaraman said that he was scared to be honest. I was infuriated on the one hand, but I was scared he added.

"We take hate incidents and hate crimes seriously, and understand the significant impact they have on our community. These incidents are despicable. We are here to protect all community members, regardless of their gender, race, nationality, religion, and other differences," Police Chief Sean Washington wrote.

"We would like to urge the community to be respectful of each other and to immediately report any circumstances such as this that, upon investigation, may rise to the level of a crime. In the event of a hate crime, we will devote all available resources to follow up and investigate. Fremont is one of the nation's most diverse communities, and we are thankful for the contributions of community members from different cultures and backgrounds," the statement also added.

"The part that sucked was that the abuser spit on the counter where food was being served and despite pointing that out, the Taco Bell employees continued serving the food on it," Jayaraman wrote in a tweet.
