The other two suspects, ages 15 and 16, were both arrested on July 26, but were not named because they are minors. The underage suspects also face assault and aggravated harassment charges classified as hate crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged hate crime attack took place on an MTA bus driving in the Woodhaven neighborhood of the borough of Queens.<\/p>\n<p>Citing surveillance camera footage, Queens district attorney Melinda Katz said the three suspects sat near the rear of the bus and approached the victim. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The defendant allegedly looked directly at victim saying, &#8216;I hate white people.&#8217; She also stated that she hates white people\u2019s skin,&#8221; the <a href=\"https:\/\/queensda.org\/third-female-charged-with-hate-attack-on-queens-bus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a> from the district attorney read. <\/p>\n<p>Williams allegedly threatened the victim, &#8220;I am going to kill you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the bus drove past the St. John\u2019s Cemetery, Williams purportedly told the victim, &#8220;This is where I\u2019m going to bury you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The victim \u2013 identified as Jill LeCroix \u2013 told the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/17\/nyc-anti-white-crime-victim-said-perp-accused-her-of-being-trump-fan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> that one of her attackers &#8220;had a bag from Bath and Body Works.&#8221; The LeCroix added, &#8220;She took out a scrub and said she was going to beat me with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LeCroix said one of the females threatened her, &#8220;You&#8217;re going to get what you deserve! All white people are going to get what they deserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span>The victim claimed, &#8220;Before they hit me, the girl with the green hair said, &#8216;You probably like Trump! Don\u2019t you?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>LeCroix replied, &#8220;I love him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Williams and one of the minors spit on the woman.<\/p>\n<p>Williams then repeatedly smashed LeCroix in the head with a shopping bag that contained a jar, according to the district attorney. At least one of the minors allegedly punched LeCroix in the head several times. <\/p>\n<p>The trio then fled the bus. <\/p>\n<p>The victim was taken to a local hospital for a deep gash on the right side of her head. <\/p>\n<p>LeCroix told the Post that she has three biracial children and is a grandmother of five. <\/p>\n<p>District attorney Katz said, &#8220;As alleged, the defendant, as well as two other apprehended individuals, carried out an unprovoked assault on a public transit rider simply because of the victim\u2019s race. I am committed to holding accountable those who perpetuate bias-motivated attacks on the residents of the most diverse county in the world. The defendant is now charged with assault as a hate crime and will be held to account for her alleged actions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of July 28, there have been 338 hate crime incidents this year that resulted in 360 arrests, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.powerbigov.us\/view?r=eyJrIjoiYjg1NWI3YjgtYzkzOS00Nzc0LTkwMDAtNTgzM2I2M2JmYWE1IiwidCI6IjJiOWY1N2ViLTc4ZDEtNDZmYi1iZTgzLWEyYWZkZDdjNjA0MyJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYPD<\/a>.
