Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said.
But the man he assaulted was actually a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from overseas who spoke limited English, police said.
That's why police arrested reservist Jasen D. Bruce on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Police said they're also investigating whether Bruce, 28, committed a hate crime.
The suspect's car was apparently stuck on AM.
