Two teen girls charged with hate crimes in Queens ‘anti-white’ bus attack
By MORE ON:
Two teenage girls accused of an “anti-white” attack on a Queens woman riding an MTA bus were arrested on Tuesday and charged with hate crimes, according to police.
The suspects, 15 and 16, are facing assault and aggravated harassment raps over the ugly July 9 attack that left the 57-year-old victim, Jill LeCroix, bloodied enough she required three staples to her head, police said.
Both charges were classified as hate crimes, the NYPD said. A third suspect is still being sought.
The arrests come more than three weeks after the assault on a southbound Q52 MTA bus near Jamaica Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard.
While riding the bus, LeCroix, a grandmother of five, was approached by three female assailants who struck her on the head with an unknown object, causing bleeding, while making anti-white statements, according to police.
