A black man was beaten and called racist names as he walked along a Boulder street Friday morning.
The victim told police he was in the 1600 block of Broadway walking with a friend about 1:45 a.m. when a passenger in a passing van yelled a racial epithet.
The van then pulled into a parking lot and a man got out and apologized for the other’s behavior.
Despite the apology, the person who yelled the epithet got out of the van, continued to yell names at the victim and punched him twice in the face.
After the assault, the man and his friends left in the van and the victim was taken to Boulder Community Hospital.
