Summary
The official charge is intimidation in the first degree, which is the closest Oregon has to a hate crime charge. The attack happened a week ago when several teens beat a 28-year-old woman aboard a MAX train and then took off with her purse. Police believe the attack was racially motivated. Brian Barker reports.
