Bloomington Police arrested an Indiana University student on several charges after he allegedly attacked a Muslim woman.
Police were called to the Sofra Café in the 300 block of South Walnut Street Saturday evening around 7:35 p.m. on a report of an assault, Fox59 said.
According to Bloomington Police, a Muslim woman was sitting at the café with her 9-year-old daughter when a man began shouting derogatory phrases and ethnic slurs at the woman.
The man, later identified as Triceten Bickford, 19, allegedly shouted “white power” and “kill them all.”
Bickford then grabbed the woman by her neck and slammed her head into the table. He then attempted to remove the woman’s headscarf.
The woman’s husband saw what was going on and he rushed to her aid along with another man.
They successfully pinned Bickford to the ground and waited for police to arrive. While they were waiting, Bickford spit into the men’s faces and continued making threats.
