A black New Jersey woman who said she’s “sick of fancy white people,” and who allegedly attacked a man with a hammer and smashed his Porsche and boat at a Virginia gas station, was arrested Wednesday, according to authorities and reports.

Angela Jones, 26, of Newark is accused of beating the man from Massachusetts on Tuesday as he fueled up his car at an Exxon gas station on I-95, the Essex County (NJ) Sheriff’s Office said.

The victim, identified by WTVR.com only as Bob, had stopped at the station on his way home from Florida with his wife, Katherine, when he allegedly was approached by a screaming Jones.

“This lady was a couple pumps over and talking to me and yelling at somebody about having a message for her. I had no idea what she was talking about,” Bob told WTVR.com.

“I was coming around the side of the car and next thing I know, a car blocks me in. She comes out of her car, gets in my face and yelling at me about some sort of message I got for her,” he said.

The victim said Jones eventually threatened to put a hole in his “fancy boat.”

Jones then allegedly busted up the victim’s Porsche and his boat with the tool and spat in the face of the victim’s wife, according to Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura.

A sheriff from the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia told the news outlet, “She actually took a hammer and she hit his vehicle and the boat — She actually clawed him. He took her down to the ground to prevent her from doing any more damage.”

Jones reportedly said during the attack that she was “sick of fancy white people,” the couple told WVTR.com.

“I have no idea why she started going after us, but I guess she thought we were some rich people,” Bob said.

The Caroline County Sheriff’s Office said it is investigating whether the case is a hate crime, according to the news station.

Jones — who faces charges of felonious assault, assault and battery, and two counts of intentional damage to property — was picked up by sheriff’s detectives early Wednesday at her Fairmount Avenue home.

According to the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia, additional charges are pending against Jones.

She is being held at the Essex County Jail, where she awaits extradition to Virginia, authorities said.
