"As alleged by authorities, Horne committed her first offenses in front of 8902 5th Avenue in Brooklyn around 2:20 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 30. According to court documents, a detective was informed by the victim in this initial episode that Horne allegedly walked up to the hijab-wearing victim and repeatedly kicked her in the body and punched that same victim about the face. Horne then told the victim, in sum and substance, to "get out of this country," as alleged by authorities."
"Just a few minutes later, around 2:25 p.m., Horne is accused of attacking a 12-year-old at the intersection of Gelston Avenue and 92nd Street in Brooklyn. Authorities accuse Horne of approaching a hijab-wearing 12-year-old and punching her in the face. The alleged attack on the child caused the victim to suffer redness about the face, substantial pain and fear. The third incident alleged by authorities took place around 2:36 p.m. in the vicinity of 92nd Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn."
