TARBORO, N.C. (WNCN) – Edgecombe County deputies say hate crime charges are possible in a machete attack on Friday.
The attack happened Friday around 9 a.m. at a house on Carr Farm Road in Macclesfield.
According to deputies, the suspect, identified as Carlos Antonio Washington, was waiting behind the couple’s house and attacked the homeowner once the victim went inside the house.
Deputies said the homeowner fought the suspect off momentarily and deflected the machete. The homeowner’s wife came out with a gun and shot at Washington – ending the attack.
The suspect ran to his car and started to drive on U.S. 258 toward Tarboro, deputies said.
While deputies were on the way to the scene, Deputy A. Lewis located the suspect’s vehicle.
Washington and the couple had no known interactions before.
“It was kind of scary,” said neighbor Dereck Draughon. “Everybody knows one another.”
Washington was not known to authorities before Friday’s attack.
The couple will be OK, deputies said.
Deputies said federal hate crime charges are possible as the suspect is a Black Hebrew Israelite who attacked a white family at random. The Anti-Defamation League said there are many sects. Some are considered extremist and are outspoken anti-Semites and racists. They’re unrelated to the Jewish faith.

Another group to watch are the so-called “Moorish Americans.” There’s real potential for violence with that lot. Some amusing YouTube videos out there. They’re often referred to as Moor-ons.
Why do you think I moved up to the Sierras 16 years ago?
That counts as a win in my book. The perp will get, we hope, some much-needed punishment in this life - and an opportunity for salvation. If he rejects it, he'll spend eternity in Hell (and yes, Virginia, Hell DOES exist) as certainly as if missus homeowner had practiced correct gun control, hitting what she was aiming at and ending his life right there.
Had to scour the article - wasn’t sure who the hate crimes charges might be filed against.
In today’s world, it could have easily been the homeowner who faced Hate Crime Charges - along with murder.
That’s what would have most likely happened in California.
Is that one of those Moors, I mean Moops?
No doubt for the same reasons I left the Puget Sound area for northern Idaho a couple of decades ago. You could see it coming.
