In Detroit . . .
Police: Man stabs two after asking about religious beliefs
By Abby Ohlheiser February 17 at 4:38 PM
A Detroit man stabbed two people at a suburban bus stop after asking his victims whether or not they were Muslim, according to police. Federal authorities are now looking at the case as a potential hate crime, police said on Tuesday.
Both of the victims were standing at the bus stop outside of Detroit with the suspect on Saturday, Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. Several people there “engaged in conversation†until the suspect, identified by Hawkins as 39-year-old Terrence Lavaron Thomas, “asked some of the folks there if they were Muslims.â€
Two of them answered, the chief told The Post on Tuesday: They were not Muslims.
“[Thomas] was not not happy with that answer,†Hawkins said. Shortly after, “without provocation,†Thomas pulled out a 3-inch folding knife “and attacked one of them,†Hawkins said.
Both victims are in their early 50′s. One was stabbed five times in the attack. The other was stabbed in the hand as he tried to stop the attack, Hawkins said. Both were released from the hospital with “non-life threatening injuries.â€
'Course, I'd like to see someone try that in, say, Texas . . .
In a gun-free zone such as what Detroit has become, Sheriff David Clarke notwithstanding, this can be done rather easily.
