Officials said that an executive of a vegan food products company has been charged with felony battery and making a terroristic threat after an altercation outside a football game in which he’s accused of biting a man’s nose.
Beyond Meat Chief Operations Officer Doug Ramsey has been accused of a road rage attack outside Saturday’s game between the Arkansas Razorbacks and Missouri State Bears in Fayetteville, Arkansas, according to Fayetteville television station KNWA.
A police report says the 53-year-old Fayetteville man attacked another man who tried to inch in front of him in a parking garage traffic lane and made contact with a wheel on Ramsey’s sport utility vehicle.
A police officer responding to the reported disturbance arrived to find “two males with bloody faces,” the report states.
After speaking with Ramsey, the other man and a witness, the officer determined that Ramsey had gotten out of his SUV and “punched through the back windshield” of the other car.
The other vehicle’s driver said he emerged from his car, and Ramsey “pulled him in close and started punching his body” and “bit the owner’s nose, ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” the officer reported.
That man and the witness also reported hearing Ramsey “threaten to kill” the man.
Beyond Meat has not responded to messages from the station and The Associated Press seeking comment.
