An attack on a blind trans woman in a Seattle-area suburb is being investigated as a potential hate crime, police say
An attack on a legally blind transgender woman in the Seattle suburb of Tukwila is being investigated as a potential hate crime, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman, who has not been named by authorities, was beaten Tuesday night by “several juvenile males” who had boarded the public bus she was riding. Authorities said the victim walked to the back of the bus, pepper-sprayed the youths and then left the bus. She was then “chased by the juveniles” off the bus and subsequently assaulted.
“Cellphone video from witnesses captured the female lying on the ground motionless and defenseless while being punched and stomped repeatedly by the suspects,” Sgt. Ryan Abbott of the King County Sheriff’s Office told NBC News in an email.
