The victim had the good sense to use her cell phone to record the incident (and the even better sense to grab a stick and escape her attackers). The alleged attackers are being charged with Kidnapping and Attempted Murder.
Police are claiming there is no evidence that this is a hate crime, but others (including the victims mother) believe that the cell phone recording shows ample evidence.
Be careful out there.
