An Asian American man reported to Phoenix police that a beer bottle was thrown at him while he attended a Suns basketball game with his two children at Phoenix Suns Arena in downtown Phoenix, police officials confirmed on Wednesday.
The victim contacted police about 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday to report the attack. Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Mercedes Fortune said officers are attempting to obtain video of the incident and an investigation is ongoing, as incidents of anti-Asian violence are occurring nationwide.
Fortune said the incident may be bias related.
The incident was reported on Twitter the same night by Vicente Reid, the CEO of Arizona Asian Chamber of Commerce, an organization that serves the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in Arizona.
