NJ man who hurled racial slurs at neighbor hit with more charges

The white New Jersey man who was caught on camera hurling racial slurs at his black neighbor will be hit with new charges in connection to the belligerent episode, prosecutors said.

Edward Cagney Mathews, 45, will face charges of bias intimidation and assault after a video of the racial tirade sparked protests over the weekend outside his home in Mount Laurel, Burlington County Prosecutor Scott A. Coffina said. “I want to especially commend the victim who showed incredible restraint with somebody spewing awful, vile things in his face. Assaulting him,” Coffina said Monday evening at a press conference, NBC Philadelphia reported.
