Man assaults Muslim woman following reports of ‘dark-skinned’ Boston bombing suspect | The Raw Story: A Muslim woman in Boston says that she was attacked by a white man on on Wednesday morning because he was apparently enraged by the Boston Marathon bombings and convinced, despite a lack of evidence, that the perpetrators were Muslim.
Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, who were both wearing hijabs, were walking on Commercial Street with their children when a white male in his thirties punched her in her left shoulder.
“He was screaming ‘Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!’” she recalled. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.”
“I did not say anything to him,” she added. “Not even that we aren’t terrorists… he was so aggressive.”
After about two minutes of confrontation, the man left and Abolaban called her husband and police.
She said the police were “kind and helpful,” but no arrests had been made.
