A woman faces hate crime charges after authorities say she pummeled a mother in front of her young daughter at a North Portland bus stop.
Nimo Jire Kalinle, 42, had just exited a No. 4 bus at North Fremont Street and Gantenbein Avenue on Jan. 19 when she started slugging Janae Jordan in the face repeatedly, court records allege.
During the attack, Jordan, who was with her husband and child, asked why the woman was targeting her.
“It’s because you’re white and I hate white people,” Kalinle, who is black, told Jordan, a probable cause affidavit alleges.

Kalinle was arrested and later indicted on multiple criminal counts, including a first-degree bias crime, fourth-degree assault and interfering with public transportation, court documents show.
She did not show up for a Feb. 5 arraignment, and authorities issued a bench warrant, according to court records.
Police on Sunday arrested Kalinle on suspicion of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in a separate incident and booked her into the Multnomah County jail.
She is scheduled to be arraigned in both cases Monday afternoon.
Court records show Kalinle has previously faced criminal charges for throwing rocks through TriMet bus shelters and damaging other agency property.
