Police in Washington, DC are investigating a robbery that occurred Saturday as a possible hate crime in retaliation to the not-guilty verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman.
A Bethesda, Maryland man was beaten and robbed early Saturday morning by three black men who approached him as he was walking down Euclid Street in Adams Morgan district of Washington, DC.
Police are investigating the robbery as a hate crime since one of the men yelled 'This is for Trayvon Martin' before attacking the man.
The men threw the victim to the ground and kicked him before leaving with his wallet and iPhone.
The victim only suffered minor injuries and declined medical attention, authorities said.
'There is no pattern in these types of crimes,' DC police spokesman Araz Alali told the Washington Post. 'These attacks are outrageous; we are doing everything in our power to see that they certainly don't occur. If they do occur, we are going to aggressively investigate them and bring people to justice.'
The crime comes two weeks after a jury found George Zimmerman not-guilty of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012, even though he admitted to shooting the teen.
