By Around the Web

(DETROIT FREE PRESS) The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office said the men responsible for attacking a 28-year-old Ypsilanti Township woman who appeared on a TV news report marrying another woman could face hate-crime charges.

The men yelled slurs at the woman during Monday’s attack outside a Ypsilanti Township apartment complex; the woman was punched, kicked and knocked unconscious, police said.

Sgt. Geoffrey Fox said the incident is being investigated as an assault case, but if the men are found, the prosecutor’s office could bring forth additional charges.
