"Hate Crime Investigation Launched After Hit-and-Run at Stanford University"
Authorities have opened a hate crime investigation after an Arab Muslim student at Stanford University was struck by a hit-and-run driver on campus. The student reported that the driver, described as a white man in his mid-20s, made eye contact before accelerating and hitting him, while shouting derogatory remarks. The incident has prompted concerns about hate-based violence on campus, amid tensions related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Stanford's public safety department is increasing security measures in response.
