A Muslim student at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) claimed she was attacked in the early evening in a public place and that her assailant attempted to remove her hijab.
But after reviewing footage of the public place during the time the assault allegedly happened, police saw no evidence of any attack taking place. When police attempted to speak to the student further about the incident, she stopped cooperating, leading some to believe the accusation was yet another hate crime hoax.
The College Fix reported that UMBC has stopped the investigation “pending further investigative leads.”
“It’s our policy to send alerts to the campus when hate-bias incidents are reported,” University spokesperson Dinah Winnick told the outlet on Monday, referring to a campus alert that was sent earlier this month regarding the alleged incident. “UMBC Police evaluate the need for any updates based on the investigation.”
A hate and bias investigation report obtained by the Fix labeled the incident “inconclusive.” This and other evidence led the Fix to report that there is “a strong possibility of a hoax.”
