Police have arrested a man on a hate crime charge after a father and son were on the receiving end of a hate-fueled road rage incident in upstate New York.
William Ryan, 60, a resident of Newburgh, was arrested Tuesday in the incident and charged with second degree menacing as a hate crime.The victim Robert Mclymore, who is African American, slowed down to let another car pass in front of him in the afternoon, which caused a white motorist behind him to become enraged.
"I just couldn't believe it," Mclymore said."I couldn't believe the racial epithets, him saying that he was a cop or a trooper. Most of all him doing what he did and he's an older gentleman." The driver also tried to stab Mclymore in the parking lot leaving a small hole in the off-duty officer's phone case.
