An SUV had sped up and slammed into the driver’s side of her car – intentionally.
WOODLAND PARK, N.J. – She sat in shock in her Toyota Camry, gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles, her 16-year-old son beside her. A second earlier, an SUV had sped up in the Carvel parking lot andThey sat stunned as the SUV reversed to do it again. As she heard the revving of the engine, she thought this might be the day they die.
Township police arrested Michael Morrison, 55, at his Nutley home later that day, charging him with aggravated assault, bias intimidation and other crimes. The incident comes amid a rise in reported hate crimes across New Jersey and the rest of the U.S. targeting people for their perceived race, ethnicity or religion.Hate rhetoric in politics, media and online forums has targeted Muslims and, many believe, has put them squarely at risk. That’s especially true for women who may be more identifiable because of how they dress.
Born in New York City and raised in Florida, the woman said she grew up Christian and attended Methodist services before branching out to explore other religions. It was Islam that struck a chord. The first time she was attacked was earlier this year while she was shopping at a grocery store in Lyndhurst. She said she was browsing shelves when a woman approached and started yelling that she was disgusting and should go back to her country. Then the woman grabbed a shopping cart and started shoving it into her.
So when she was attacked in April, she had the foresight to take a photo of the other driver's license plate. She said he told her that he hated her and wanted to kill her. She said he thought the worst he might do was tailgate her car.
