u/Abject-Pass-5549

Location: Austin, TX. Last night while walking with my husband (f20) (m21) We were on the sidewalk holding hands walking on the right hand side. We were walking towards the grocery store when I saw a man walking past, I moved over to the side so one foot was in the grass and I really tried to shrink my body down. The thing is, I live in Austin tx and there were glass bottles and needles in grass often so I was very scared to go in the grass but I still put a foot in it and shrinked as much as I could and looked down avoiding eye contact with the man. He was walking super fast and shoulder bumbled intentionally into my husband, he kept his shoulders firm and even stood straighter as it happened. My husband got knocked out my hand and he almost fell. The guy kept walking and my husband asked, “hey what the hell, why’d you do that?” The guy then turned around very wide eyed with his finger pointing to my husband saying “you two were taking up the whole sidewalk” when we were in fact not. He said “you two are just a couple of brownies walking the streets, your accent is horrible, you should go back to Europe or wherever it is you came from” my husband has a speech impediment but is fully American. We are both mostly Scottish and Spaniard with a little Native American in us so we do not look fully white but we are very light skin. I told the guy “he has a speech impediment you idiot how mean” and he proceeded to call us the hard R version of the N word. He was shaking and he was messing with his nose constantly, in a bizarre way. He did this circling behavior where he’d leave and come back, and as he did this he actually put his two fists up like how a wrestler does and approached us very fast and erratic, I was behind my husband at this time but when I saw him do this I got scared he was going to punch my husband. He was shaking his hands like he was going to use them, so I got in between them and he didn’t back off, he got close enough he was right against me and I could smell his breath, his fists in my face. I pushed him away from me open handed with my palm ✋ and told him to “get out of our faces” and that’s when he pointed at me and said “ohhhhhh I’m calling the cops 😈” I said “go ahead, I need to go home and get my phone so I can call the cops too, you started this by doing that to my husband, move move out of the way” he then had 911 on the phone, and shouted at the woman on the phone that I was following and attacking him. I tried to get the woman on the phone to hear me that I was just trying to go home, but he started pushing me away so I pushed him off of me, but that made him angry and he started punching me. It really hurt as he was doing it to my head as I remember. I screamed from the pain and My husband came from up behind us and had to tear him off of me, and started defending me as he wouldn’t stop approaching us with his fists up. I kept asking him to move and he finally did, then just stood across the street giving me the middle finger while I had to get phone. It was already too late and I didn’t get to call the cops before they showed up to my house, where he was waiting. I am very upset he knows where I live and he would not move or let me go to my house without trying to control the narrative to the 911 operator. Now I have to wait and see what happens, but I don’t know anything about the law or what to expect from this whole process. As I was walking to my house he kept yelling at me that I was a dumb brown hard r and a fat b*tch, and he even called two poor high school girls brownies and the n word too. The only thing I could think to call him was a cracker, of course I don’t think it’s right to say those things but I said them after he called us the N word and told us to go back to where we came from. My face and head is swelled and sore from him hitting me. He is about 40-50 years old and white, for context on the racism
