An Asian couple was attacked by two men over “social distancing” in a mall on Easter Sunday in San Bernadino County, CA. The crime, that was witnessed by others in the store, has been deemed a hate crime. Asian hate crimes have been all the rage by the Democrat Party media lately, as they attempt to target white males as the perpetrators of the crimes. Today’s arrest of a 34-year-old black male in relation to the hate crime may make their false narrative even harder to prove.

FOX 11’s Gigi Graciette reported 34-year-old Tuvorius Mencer was arrested and booked for a hate crime and felony assault of the couple. In addition, he also faces a charge of assault on a peace officer.

Fox 11 reports – Police said the argument escalated into a physical altercation. An Asian woman was seen on a stretcher with injuries on cell phone video following the incident.

Louis Navarro was at the mall and recounted what he saw to FOX 11.

“I was walking down the corridor and then I noticed there was a disturbance about 50 feet in front of me and as I looked up, I noticed there were two black gentlemen striking an Asian female where she landed on the ground and I saw her holding the left side of her face. At that moment, I noticed there was an innocent bystander that was attempting to render aid to her, he then became assaulted and fell on the ground where they attacked him,” said Navarro.

Navarro said another person tried to stop the suspects but wasn’t able to do so. Navarro said the suspects walked past him and he heard them use derogatory language.

“The two gentlemen then walked past me as I heard them using several profanity and derogatory remarks. The remarks that were made obvious to me makes it seem more of a hate crime,” he said.

Navarro recorded the aftermath to provide video to police and captured the victim being wheeled out on a stretcher following the hate crime. He said the female victim had a baby with her at the time of the incident too.

“The mother had a two to three-year-old baby. It was just very alarming to me and I, myself own a security company and we deal with this on a regular basis, but it just caught me off guard,” he said.

One of the suspects is in custody, booked on a hate crime, and police are working to identify the other suspect. Police are not yet releasing their names or identities.
