Police Probing Possible Hate Crime After Car Drives Through 'Stop Asian Hate' Rally
Authorities in California are investigating a potential hate crime after a man was seen driving through a crowd of protesters at a Stop Asian Hate rally over the weekend while yelling racist slurs.
Video posted to Instagram on Sunday shows demonstrators appearing to exchange words with the driver of a black Honda Civic while the vehicle is stopped at a red light in the city of Diamond Bar, which is east of Los Angeles. As the protesters walk past the car along a crosswalk, the vehicle appears to drive through the red light and do an illegal U-turn while driving toward one of the demonstrators.
The driver shouted racial epithets including one targeting Black people and fuck China as he drove away, local station KCAL reported.
No injuries were reported during the incident, authorities said.
