The family of a 15-year old Hamilton boy who was beaten with a baseball bat fears he may have been the victim of a hate crime.
Noah Rabbani is in intensive care after undergoing surgery for a brain clot after he was beaten and robbed on Saturday.
He is Muslim and of Pakistani descent.
His aunt, Salima Hafeez, tells the Hamilton Spectator that the beating was savage and she's afraid it was motivated by hate or race.
Hamilton police say at this point, there is no evidence to suggest it was a hate crime.
