Wichita State students allegedly attacked by racist Trump supporter

A pair of Wichita State students claim they were attacked by a racist Donald Trump supporter at a gas station near the campus. 

The alleged attack happened March 12, according to Khondoker Usama, a Muslim student at Wichita State. Usama says he and a friend, a Hispanic student, were confronted by a man who hurled racial epithets at them and then turned physical before chanting Trump's name. 

Surveillance footage at the gas station captured the confrontation. About a minute into the below video, a man pulls up on a motorcycle and engages with Usama and his friend (who has remained unnamed). 

The confrontation gets physical at several points before the man gets back on his motorcycle and drives off. There is no sound on the video, though, so the footage can't confirm what was said.

Usama told the Wichita Eagle that the man had already shouted an epithet at another customer at the gas station before he turned his attention on the two students.

“Then suddenly it turned onto us, calling us ‘brown trash, go home. Trump will win,’ ” Usama said. Then the man approached the students and, according to Usama, said, “You want to live in this country, you better leave.”

Usama claims as the man drove off on his motorcycle, he started chanting Trump's name. He told KAKE that the surveillance footage substantiates his claims, saying, "It makes it more clear that we were the victims and this person is the attacker."

During a brief press conference earlier this week, Moussa Elbayoum, chairman of the board of the Kansas Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter said, "We call upon Donald Trump to deplore this attack and any similar instance." 

The instance is just the latest alleged example of violence by supporters of the GOP presidential front-runner. A Trump supporter was arrested and charged after sucker-punching a protester at a Trump rally in North Carolina last week and scuffles broke out between protesters and Trump supporters at a canceled Trump rally in Chicago on Friday.

In August 2015, a pair of Boston men were charged with beating a homeless Hispanic man and claimed they were inspired by Trump, an act that Trump later condemned. 

Mashable has reached out to both the Wichita Police and the Trump campaign for further comment.
