Caltrain reaffirms zero tolerance for hate/racism after attack

Caltrain Chair and San Jose City Council Member Devora Davis released a statement late last week condemning a recent attack at the San Jose Diridon Station in California.

A San Francisco man was arrested March 10 for a hate crime and sexual assault, following an incident in which he allegedly hurled racial slurs at a young Asian woman and assaulted her in a pedestrian tunnel at Diridon Station, Caltrain officials said in a press release.

“Caltrain has zero tolerance for hate, racism, and xenophobia. Especially in our diverse region, our transit system is a place where all people should be safe,” Davis said. “Caltrain is thankful to our Transit Police and Allied Universal, our contract security, for their swift response to this issue.”
