Police are looking for a suspect in a December bias crime who seems to have disappeared. The suspect is 28-year-old Rickey Lee Watson and he's wanted on suspicious of assaulting an Egyptian-born Portlander in a bathroom at Dirty nightclub on the night of December 11th.
Twenty-one year old Mufeed Yacoub, a mechanical engineering student at Portland State University who moved to Portland from Egypt with his parents in 1999, was the victim in that alleged attack.
Yacoub says his brother, two friends, and he were celebrating the end of fall term when they went to Dirty, had a shot, and then Yacoub and a friend went to use the bathroom.
"My friend Sharif went in first, I waited for the other stall," says Yacoub. "At this point, there's a guy outside the door talking, but the music was kind of loud, I wasn't able to hear what hear was saying, until he said, 'You Arabs. I know your kind.'"
