A NBC report reported Monday that a man in his 30s, assaulting Korean tourists in Seattle, said he hated Chinese people.
According to NBC, Aaron Charles Lowe, 30, was attacked by a South Korean tourist near a shopping center in Seattle on the night of December 25th, and was caught by police for hate crimes.
The victims were tourists from South Korea, California, and Missouri, who came to Seattle.
In a statement made by the police, the killer chased Korean tourists in downtown Seattle and said, "I don't like Chinese."
He hit one of the victims' fists with a fist and hit the other's face using the back of his hand.
The victims hurried into the theater as the killer came along, but told police that they were chased and assaulted as soon as they left the theater.
After the assaults on the victims, they were rioting, including stealing umbrellas and breaking windows in a surrogate parking lot near the downtown Seattle hotel.
Local police arrested the criminal for hate crimes, intentional harassment and vandalism, and set a bail of $ 15,000.
