"Speaking for the first time in detail about the attack, Khan said she was approached by a man as she was taking photos of her children outside the venue. Khan, who was also with her sister and friend, said the man came "too close for my comfort" and "he made comments stating that he intended to have sexual relations" with one of the females in the group, including her daughters.
The man followed them into the building as they tried to get away. He grabbed Khan's face and said, "Give me a kiss," according to Khan.
Khan said she went back outside to lead the man away from her children. He again tried to grab her, then slapped her face when she dodged him, she said.
My friend followed us outside, was screaming [at the] top of her lungs, yelling for help," Khan said. "There were people — men — that were there that saw, that did not intervene."
Khan said the man then put her in a chokehold and slammed her to the ground.
"I shot up and ran for my life," she said in tears, describing how security in the building put her family in a safe room until police asked her to give a statement.
Khan was brought back to the site of the incident to describe what happened. She said she was given no medical attention until she asked for it and felt "that I had to convince them that I was injured." She said she was later diagnosed with a concussion and no feeling in her right arm. "
"Andrey Desmond, 30, of New Britain, was detained by another worshiper until police came. He was charged with assault, unlawful restraint, breach of peace and interfering with police."
Farhan Memon, local wolf crier, who doesn't mind attention said:
“It continues to be a mystery to me why the state isn’t bringing bias crimes in this type of incident,” said Farhan Memon, chairman of the Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “Having this charged as a bias crime sends a message out to the rest of the population that this is going to be something that’s dealt with seriously.”
I've solved your mystery, Farhan Memon, it wasn't charged as a hate crime because it WASN'T a hate crime.
Rep. Khan has never asserted that it was. She was sexually assaulted by someone insane who attacked her because she was female.
Psycho as he looks, you can't include that he hated Muslims just because she was one. He's so far, said nothing about hating Muslims.
You're not helping Muslims by insisting on this, Farhan Memon.
