Man Charged with Hate Crimes, Attempted Murder for Allegedly Attacking Asian Sisters

A Baltimore man has been charged with nine counts of hate crime in addition to attempted murder charges after going on a “rampage” against multiple Asian businesses last month, according to a statement from the Baltimore City State’s Attorney Office.

On May 2, shortly before 11:30 p.m., Daryl Doles was denied entry into an Asian-owned liquor store for refusing to wear a mask. Doles allegedly returned “with a large piece of lumber and attacked the security guard,” according to the indictment released on Monday.

Ten minutes later, Doles allegedly entered another Asian-owned store and kicked the display window while yelling expletives. {snip}

Doles returned with a piece of concrete and as one Korean woman attempted to wrestle it away from him, the pair fell to the ground, according to the statement.
