Maryland Transit Administration Police said last night that they have found no evidence that the severe beating of a 26-year-old woman on a city bus this week was provoked and that they are investigating the attack as a possible racially motivated hate crime.
Nine middle school students have been charged as juveniles with aggravated assault and destruction of property in the Tuesday afternoon attack on a woman and her male companion on the No. 27 bus.
Police said yesterday that they have determined that there were two additional victims in the case - a third passenger and the bus operator who came to his assistance.
Investigators were examining video from a surveillance camera on the bus but had not completed their analysis.

“Every once in a while somebody will make some racist remark but you run into that on the street,”
White guys shrug it off.
Baltimore is a cesspool and why any self respecting white person or middle class black person would live there is beyond me.
That's what one of the "youth's" mother says, LOL.
Like any sane person would take on a gang of 9 black teenagers on a bus.
It's so funny that while these racist punks commit their outrages they still try to blame it on whitey.
That’s middle school age in Baltimore? These aren’t kids, they’re full nearly full grown adults.
"I don't feel unsafe on the buses. I feel uncomfortable on the trippers," said Ed Cohen, president of the Transit Riders Action Council. "The general view of riders who ever happen to board one of those trippers is that they've boarded a rolling hellhole."
How likely is that?
If you read through this Sun article (basically they said no “child” brought up “n-word” or knife or spit when deposed; only “parents” who weren’t there) as well as this Examiner article and it’s RELATED” updates boxed within, you’ll see it’s pretty specious.

Bus Attack A Hate Crime Or Provoked By Victim?

Maryland Transit Administration Police are investigating Tuesday’s attack aboard a Baltimore bus as a hate crime.
Twenty-six-year-old Sarah Kreager suffered broken facial bones and other injuries after she was punched, kicked and dragged off the bus by nine middle school students. A man with Kreager, Troy Ellis, was also beaten.
Kreager and Ellis are white and the students are black.
Transit police say they have found no evidence that the attack was provoked. They continue to examine video from a surveillance camera on the bus.
But some City middle school students are disputing the police version of this week’s assault of a woman on an MTA bus.
The Examiner is reporting that some Poole Middle School students who were on the Number 27 bus at around 3 on Tuesday say the 26-year-old woman started the fight and used the “N” word.
The students say the woman and her boyfriend started the fight that left the woman with broken bones in her left eye socket and other injuries to her head.
One of students who rides that bus says the woman used the “N” word and punched one of the students riding the bus.
But that flies in the face of what the woman told MTA police.
The students are charged with aggravated assault and destruction of property. Police say the teens could face additional charges. Police have identified two additional victims, a third passenger and the bus driver.
Too many around here - and they obviously never get beaten up.
The MTA said that there is no evidence that the victims did anything to provoke the attack- keep in mind that they not only attacked the white woman, but her white boyfriend and another elderly white passenger unrelated to the couple. When the black bus driver tried to break up the attack he too was assaulted.
Uh, they did, right away.
Yeah, don’t you hate it when they call these pieces of offal “gentleman.” I realize they’re using it generically, and apparently don’t even know what it means, but they should.
I think it is immoral and bad for society to repeat such rumors unless you have good reason to believe they are likely true. Do you have a link for this information?
ooops should have been a ?
I see they’re even spilling into Charles Co. Last election - DEMOCRAT!!!! The poison is spreading even more in our state! Used to be just Balto City, Monty Co and PG Co - that was enough to overrule the rest of the state. But now another old southern county has been taken over by welfare leftists!?

Sorry, hadn’t seen that.
See reply #2. I think the parents may be smarter than some of the people who will eventually post on this thread.
