A fight at an apartment complex in Columbus, Ohio, late Saturday left a Somali-American woman hospitalized, a neighbor facing eviction and police looking for answers. Columbus police on Monday released information about the brawl, which was allegedly marked by racist threats, in an effort to dispel “rumors and speculation” circulating on social media, they said. Nemir says Warsame was beaten when she tried to intervene in a situation where a male neighbor was in a “verbal altercation” with another woman. Sam Morales, a 31-year-old Mexican-American woman who lives in the same apartment complex as Warsame, disputes CAIR’s version of events. “This was a neighborhood fight where they ganged up on me and just got out of hand,” Morales told HuffPost Monday.
