Hawzah News Agency-A University of Louisiana at Lafayette student was robbed of her wallet and hijab Wednesday near campus.
Around 11 a.m. Wednesday in the 100 block of Smith Street, near St. Mary Boulevard and Johnston Street, a female UL student reported she was walking to class when a dark sedan approached her, according to public information officers with the UL Police and Lafayette Police departments.
Two white males got out of the car and hit the student, who fell to the ground. They took her wallet and her hijab, a head covering worn in public by some Muslim women, Billy Abrams, UL public information officer, said.
The victim said the men were wearing sweat pants and one wore a white hat or cap that had Trump on it, he said.
The suspects got back in their vehicle and drove off toward Johnston Street. The victim declined medical attention.
Cpl. Karl Ratcliff of the Lafayette Police Department added that the victim told investigators the suspects "were saying ugly stuff to her," but she did not specify.
So far, no witnesses or surveillance video have been located to assist police, he said.
