Daren Abbey, 28, was arrested on a malicious harassment charge after being treated at a hospital for facial fractures.
Abbey reportedly threatened to to stab Marlon Baker inside J.D.'s Resort on July 3 in Bayview after telling Baker he didn't belong in the bar because he was black.
Baker then left the bar to avoid a fight, but police say Abbey followed him to a marina about 300 yards away, called him racial slurs and again threatened to stab him.
Baker punched Abbey once in the face, knocking him to the ground unconscious.
Lt. Stu Miller said Baker acted in self-defense: "He felt threatened - there was an actual threat that was made that he was going to get stabbed."
Abbey told authorities that he is living as a transient in the Coeur d'Alene area after moving from Montana; he remains in jail on $75,000 bond for felony charges of malicious harassment and battery.
