A California woman accused of spitting at an Asian American stranger and using an ethnic slur during an unprovoked attack was charged with a misdemeanor hate crime and battery.
Karen Marie Inman, 39, allegedly told the victim to go back to “where you came from” during the Feb. 13 incident, the Santa Clara District Attorney’s office said in a statement on Monday.
Inman reportedly approached the victim, a 36-year-old man of Asian descent who was dining outside with a friend in downtown Mountain View, and spat at him. She also allegedly used an ethnic slur.

She was initially recognized for reportedly taking food and clothing items at a store just steps away from the restaurant before the altercation, Mountain View police spokeswoman Katie Nelson said in a statement.
