Family of 7-year-old ‘slashing’ victim at Detroit park calling for hate crime charges

A 73-year-old man, Gary Lansky, faces charges including assault with intent to murder after allegedly slashing a 7-year-old girl's throat at Ryan Park in Detroit. The victim's family, alongside the Arab American Civil Rights League, is advocating for hate crime charges, though Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's office states there is insufficient evidence to pursue such charges at this time.
