Buffalo: Two teenage hijabis pelted with eggs near a school bus
BUFFALO, N.Y.- A woman in Buffalo is speaking out to authorities after witnessing three men egg two Muslim teenagers who wore the hijab.
Their mother was waiting for them to get off the school bus, when three men got out of their car and started throwing eggs at the teenage girls.
"They started yelling, but I couldn't hear what they were saying," the witness who wished to remain anonymous told WKBW.
She believes they were targeted because of the way they looked.
"There were a lot of kids on the street," she said. "They targeted those girls."
The two men took off before she says she could get to the girls. By the time she did, they were crying and covered in eggs.
She says she immediately called Buffalo Police, and tried to get the girls to stay, but they spoke little English and left the scene.
