MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 2 (UPI) -- Two men were arraigned in Mountain View, Calif., Wednesday on assault and hate crime charges in the beating of a black man while shouting "white power."
Jonathan Rhodes, 18, and Joseph Krueger, 21, allegedly attacked the 19-year-old African-American -- who was not identified -- after he confronted the pair who had been fighting a third man following an argument over a girl, police said.
"Who's talking? This is white power!" one of the suspects allegedly shouted, The Mercury News of San Jose, Calif., reported.
Krueger allegedly grabbed the victim's hair and punched him, holding a knife above him, as the victim begged them to stop. The attackers also raised their arms in Nazi salutes, officials said.
