STANFORD, CA : Sheriffs office investigating hit-and-run of Arab Muslim student at Stanford on Monday, 6th November 2023

The California Highway Patrol has handed over an investigation into a hit-and-run of an Arab Muslim student at Stanford University who said the driver made a racist remark before running him down.

The Santa Clara County sheriff will lead the investigation, the CHP's Redwood City division said Monday.

Abdulwahab Omira alleges that a driver intentionally struck him with their car and made a racist comment during the incident, which occurred on Friday night.

Omira, a Syrian refugee who arrived two years ago to pursue graduate studies at the university, stated that the driver screamed, "F--- you and your people" and had "previously shown animosity towards my community."
