A Muslim Stanford University student was injured in a hit-and-run by a driver who allegedly yelled “f—k you and your people,” and California police are investigating the incident as a racially motivated hate crime, the school said Sunday.
The victim was struck Friday afternoon by a driver who reportedly made eye contact with him before peeling away and yelling out the car’s open window, according to Stanford’s Department of Public Safety.
He described the driver as a white male in his mid-20s, with short dirty-blonde hair, a short beard, and round-framed eyeglasses. The car was reportedly a Toyota 4Runner.
“I never imagined becoming the victim of a hate-driven attack,” the victim said in a statement to ABC News. “His hateful screams … still echo in my ears.
