An Oregon man has been charged with attempted murder and hate crimes for allegedly attacking an Indian immigrant due to her ethnicity, leaving her with a broken shoulder and various other injuries.
He was indicted on hate crime charges early this week in light of comments he made about Puri's nationality. He allegedly made derogatory statements regarding the woman's country of origin and expressed a desire to rid America of people like her, according to the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office.
He said the charges were made possible by a recently revised bias crime law in the state that allows a felony hate crime to be charged even if a defendant acts alone. Lamb, who was seen smiling in his booking photo, is scheduled to appear in court on Friday. It's unclear if he has retained an attorney.
