A Las Vegas woman has been arrested after allegedly stabbing Michael Jackson’s niece seven times and hurling racist slurs, according to a report.

Angela Bonell, 22, is accused of slashing Yasmine Jackson on May 30 near her home, telling her it was “because she was a n—-r,” according to an arrest report obtained by Page Six.

Footage taken a bystander in the aftermath of the alleged attack also shows a cop detain Bonell on the ground before tending to Jackson, who is bleeding just feet away, the Daily Mail reported.

“This young girl just stabbed this girl in the face,” the person behind the camera could be heard saying. “She said the only reason she did it was because she was a n—-r.”

Jackson, who is the daughter of Joh’Vonie Jackson, the pop star’s half-sister, shared details about the attack and photos of her grisly injuries to Instagram.

“This woman chased me down and started stabbing me,” she wrote. “She said it’s because I was a n—-r and that’s all I could hear while I was being stabbed. I can’t move my neck at all. I’m scared to be alone.”

Bonell was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder with a deadly weapon with hate crime enhancement, according to the arrest report. She’s being held on $100,000 bail and set to appear in court Tuesday, KSNV reports.

“I pray to God that if you have any kind of hatred in your heart towards black people that you heal it. I didn’t deserve this, nobody does,” Jackson wrote on Instagram.
