IRVINE, CA — A hate crime that happened last month at the University of 
California, Irvine, was being investigated Wednesday, authorities said.

The attack happened at about 8:30 p.m. Feb. 27 at Arroyo Vista Housing, 
according to UC Irvine police.

Multiple teens on e-bikes insulted a student with anti-Black racial slurs 
and spitting, and one of the suspects injured the back leg of the victim 
with the tire of an e-bike, campus police said.

Campus police were able to track down and detain one suspect in a parking 
structure near the scene.

One of the teens, riding a black e-bike, was described as about 16 to 17 
years old, 5-foot-8 and about 160 to 170 pounds, wearing a white T-shirt, 
black pants and a black helmet.

Another suspect was said to be about 14 years-old, 5-foot-5, about 190 
pounds and wearing a black shirt, denim gray pants, white Air Force 1 
Nikes and a black helmet with a blue backpack on a black e-bike.

Anyone with information about the suspects was asked to call police at 
949-824-5223.

UCI officials issued a statement saying the school "remains firmly 
committed to fostering a safe, inclusive and a respectful environment for 
all members of our community."

The university's statement added that it "unequivocally prohibits acts of 
violence, intimidation or property damage motivated by a person's race, 
ethnicity, religion, disability, gender or sexual orientation and 
encourages community members to report incidents promptly. Through data-
driven policing, community engagement and ongoing public safety 
initiatives, the university remains dedicated to confronting hate in all 
its forms and strengthening protections for every Anteater."
