Police say a Florida man threatened two customers at a McDonalds restaurant on Wednesday with a stun gun and knife and yelled "get out of my country."
Sixty-year-old John Jay Smith now faces multiple charges in wake of the St. Augustine incident.
Mohamed Galal and Zeyad Said told St. Johns Sheriff's deputies that Smith approached them while holding a knife and asked if they were "American boys." An arrest report says Smith yelled that they "don't deserve American food."
While being arrested, the report says Smith said "they killed my son," a U.S. Marine who died while in combat in Afghanistan.
Smith faces charges of aggravated assault, trespassing and burglary.
Prosecutors will determine whether the incident was a hate crime.
