Police Investigate Possible Hate Crime against Bosnian woman by three black males ST. LOUIS – St. Louis police are investigating an alleged hate crime in the Bevo neighborhood early this morning that left a 26-year-old woman beaten. According to a police report, at about 5:30 a.m., a Bosnian woman was driving when three black males in their late-teens to early-20s stepped in front of her vehicle. When the woman tried to drive around them, the suspects reportedly pulled out a firearm, so she stopped the car. After hitting her windshield with a crowbar, the suspects pulled the woman from her car, threw her on the ground and kicked her. A suspect grabbed her purse, searched it, and told the others it was empty. All three suspects then fled the scene. Police say the woman said she thought the crime was racially motivated because the suspects asked her if she was Bosnian. St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay responds. “The fact that they did suggest that she was a Bosnian – she was a Bosnian lady. We’ve already turned this over to the FBI.” Slay says he has been meeting with the Bosnian community already to discuss their concerns about safety – this after the hammer attack that killed a 32-year-old man in the Bosnian neighborhood earlier this week. I think it’s just blacks taking their aggression out on anybody that’s white,” he says. “It’s bad, it’s messed up, I hate it.” - (Hatecrimes) | ||
