Palo Alto police say they arrested a man on a hate crime charge Friday morning after he harassed a woman outside City Hall while shouting racial slurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, January 24, at approximately 7:00 a.m., an off-duty Palo Alto Police Officer was flagged down by a woman in the 600 block of Ramona Street and advised that a man was chasing her. On-duty officers responded to the area but did not locate the man.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation revealed that at approximately 6:55 a.m., the victim, a woman in her 40s, was walking through the Civic Center Plaza located at 250 Hamilton Avenue. As she approached the main entrance to City Hall, a man ran toward her, aggressively blocked her path, and shouted racial slurs directed at Asian people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fearing for her safety, the victim fled on foot with the suspect on her back, still screaming. Once she reached the street, the suspect stopped following her.<\/span><\/p>\n

While officers were speaking with the victim, the Palo Alto Police Department reported, the 24-hour dispatch center received a call about a man harassing customers and weaving in and out of traffic in front of the Town and Country shopping center in the 00 block of Embarcadero Road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, he said, officers responded to the scene, detained the man and determined he was the suspect in the Civic Center Plaza incident. No new crimes had occurred at Town and Country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Police arrested Gavin Lamar Mour, 44, of Palo Alto, at the Santa Clara County Main Jail for malicious obstruction and a hate crime (both misdemeanors).<\/span><\/p>\n
