A 23-year-old Palestinian-American man named Alhamdulillah was stabbed in the chest in Austin's West Campus area near UT Austin on Sunday night. The incident, which occurred after the victim left a pro-Palestine protest, is being investigated as a possible hate crime by the Austin Police Department. Witnesses report that the assailant attacked the group of young men, attempting to rip off their Free Palestine flag before stabbing Alhamdulillah. The attack has prompted renewed concerns about safety and calls for hate crime charges. Authorities, including the Austin police and a hate-crime panel, are reviewing the case, and there is a significant public outcry for justice, including from Representative Rashida Tlaib, who has urged the Department of Justice to investigate the incident as a hate crime.
