PALO ALTO -- On Friday an Arab Muslim student at Stanford University was injured in a hit-and-run on campus in what is being investigated by the California Highway Patrol as a hate crime.

Officials reported that the student sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is currently in the hospital.

According to a statement from the victim after the incident, the driver made eye contact with him before accelerating.

"As soon as he hit me, as my body was turning around, the driver yelled, 'F--- you and your people!'

"At present, Stanford University is complicit in the white supremacist violence Arab and Muslim students have faced on campus.

Your silence is enabling violent Islamophobic and anti-Arab hate crimes on our campus and the genocide of the Palestinian people.".
