LINCOLN — Lincoln police said a 20-year-old man attacked a relative with a crowbar because she’s gay, and investigators are treating the attack as a hate crime.
Police on Friday arrested Ahmed Mohammed Tuma on suspicion of attempted assault, criminal mischief and making terroristic threats. The counts carry a hate crime enhancement.
Police said Tuma and a friend decided to confront the woman about being engaged to another woman. Police said Tuma tried to hit the woman with a crowbar as she got out of her car.
