Hate crime： Racist Black man slashed woman just for being White

2016- The man who police say slashed a woman in the neck in Brooklyn earlier this month is facing hate crime charges.

The NYPD says Gregory Alfred, 25, was arrested Tuesday on numerous charges, including hate crime attempted murder, hate crime felony assault and hate crime attempted felony assault.

Investigators say Alfred attacked the 53-year-old woman from behind in Flatbush around 10 a.m. on March 10.

Her neck was slashed as she was walking near the corner of Beverley and Rugby Roads, according to police.

Investigators said Alfred dropped the knife and an American flag-printed bandana, both of which were recovered.

Alfred was taken into police custody on Sunday in Sayreville, New Jersey.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where she was treated and released.

Sources told the New York Post he told police he had set out to slash "white people," because he blamed them for "the system" that prevents him from openly smoking pot.
