Islam El Masry, the owner of Small Pharoah's food cart on SW 5th and Stark St., has admitted to throwing hot sauce and a Gatorade bottle at a customer Wednesday. In a pair of YouTube videos uploaded this morning, El Masry also confesses to calling the customer, an African American woman, the n-word.

But he doesn't apologize.

"I really feel bad and I really feel sorry for what happened to me and for her too, both of us," El Masry says in one of his lengthy videos, which have been graciously condensed into one by the Oregonian. "I blame her, and I blame myself."

El Masry was arrested Thursday after his outburst—which customer Carlotta Washington (partially) caught on video— and charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment. According to Washington, he was upset that she had tried to purchase food using primarily coins.

In his videos, El Masry says Washington threw a bottle at him, too. He blames his aggression on Ramadan fasting, not having a cigarette, his ill parents, the media, and other customers who've called him names in the past. But he also admits to doing the same exact thing to another Black women a year and a half ago.

"Almost the same words I told to her, the same words," he says.

The words of a reformed man.
