    Williams alleged the suspect yelled racial slurs at her, but an NYPD incident report does not mention the racial element alleged by Williams.

    Williams said Tuesday that she is “at a loss” as to why the information she relayed to a police officer was not in the incident report. She said she has not yet been interviewed by District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office but plans to urge prosecutors to upgrade the charges against Bernal to a hate crime.

    I can think of a reason why the racist remarks might not make it into the report.
