The Collier Police investigating the incident ruled out it to be a 'hate crime', racially motivated and said it was an instance of bullying and that criminal charges are pending.
A video of a girl attacking a fellow hijab-clad student inside a Pittsburg school bathroom has caused outrage online. The video, filmed by another student, shows the two girls arguing over something. However, the testy exchange then quickly escalates into a fight after the blonde-haired girl pushes the Muslim student and throws several punches at her.
Although it is not clear what led to this fight, the attacker was heard saying, “You’re lucky you’re from another language, because I will crush you, b***h.” The victim can be heard crying and screaming, “Leave me alone!” The unidentified teen was treated later for a concussion and severe bruising.
The footage went viral across social media platforms, which was initially posted by a student at Chartiers Valley High School, where the incident took place.
According to Pittsburgh Action News 4, the student attacked in the video moved to the United States after spending two years in a Syrian refugee camp.
