WICHITA, KANSAS — Wichita police are reviewing surveillance camera footage from a gas station where two college students say they were assaulted by a biker yelling racial epithets and the name of GOP candidate Donald Trump.
Khondoker Usama, the student body vice president at Wichita State, said he and a Hispanic friend were filling their car up at a Kwik Shop near campus when a man in his 20s or 30s started yelling at a black man.
"The man was yelling at the African American guy, calling him a lazy ass, saying, 'You guys don't work,'" Usama told The Washington Post in a telephone interview. "He was using racial slurs."
The man then turned his attention to Usama, a 23-year-old Muslim senior from Bangladesh, and his friend, a Hispanic male. He pulled his motorcycle in front of Usama's green Acura.
According to Usama, the man said, "Hey you brown trash, you better go home."
Usama said his friend replied, "It's my country. Who the hell are you to tell me, 'Go home?'" The man pushed Usama's friend and said, according to Usama: "Say that again." Usama's friend pushed back.
"He seemed to be looking for a fight," Usama said. "The man started punching my friend. My friend dodged the first punch. I got in the middle of them — I told my friend to get back in the car. [The man] pushed me and hit me over."
That's when he went back to assaulting Usama's friend, "kicking him in the stomach, indiscriminately punching him," Usama said.
Usama called 911, while the man continued to beat up his friend.
"He was shouting, 'Trump!'" Usama said. "'Trump will take our country from you guys!'"
The man finally got back on his bike and left before police arrived.
"He was chanting, 'Trump! Trump! Trump!'" Usama said. "'Make America great again! You guys are losers! You guys, we'll throw you over the wall!'"
Luckily, the two victims escaped without serious injury.
