Attack on white woman by black youths 'racially' motivated

A woman brutally beaten on a Pittsburgh street says race motivated her attackers.
Ginger Slepski, who is white, confronted four black teenagers on Sunday on the city's north side after, she said, they threw a bottle at her car.
"I was mad," Slepski told Pittsburgh's Channel 11. "I knew they were younger. I thought they were in their early 20s. I got out and said, 'What is your problem?'"
A beat-down followed, the station reported.
"They yelled, 'Shut up white [expletive].' The other said, 'Get that white [expletive],'" Slepski said.
The girls yanked her to the pavement by her hair, punching and kicking her in the head, she said. She worried they would kill her.
"The one punched me in the head, and I was on a set of concrete steps and my head hit the concrete so hard," Slepski said.
"Then they all got on top of me, and all their hands were in my hair. They kept telling each other to 'kick her in the head. Kick her head in the concrete.'"
The teens continued even as another woman warned them she was calling police. A man finally broke it up.
The girls — ages 14, 15 and 16 — were arrested and charged with robbery and ethnic intimidation.
"I do feel like it was very racially motivated, and I grew up in the neighborhood," Slepski said.
She suffered numerous injuries, including torn shoulder ligaments, Slepski said. She hasn't been able to return to her job as an electrician and said she worried about providing for her daughters.
