Deaf Man Stabbed For Misunderstanding of Sign Language


Terrance Ervin Daniels is recovering in a Burlington, North Carolina hospital after being stabbed last week from a misunderstanding of use of sign language.

Burlington police officials say that Daniels was signing with another deaf man when a third man thought they were flashing gang signs and stabbed him.

The Associated Press reports that 22-year-old Robert Jarell Neal was arrested and charged with several counts including intent to kill.

Neal has been jailed since the stabbing and has been put on a $500,000 bond.
