Man curses Arab candidate after allegedly tossing brick at office

[RandySF]

A man threw a brick at a Michigan campaign office Thursday and then proceeded to say he did it because the candidate is a "f****** Arab."

Democrat Abbas Alawieh, who's running for a Dearborn-based seat in the Michigan state Senate, detailed the incident in a press release. Alawieh confronted the individual who allegedly targeted his Dearborn Heights office and recorded the conversation he had with the man.

"What's the issue?" Alawieh asked the man at one point.

"You're a f****** Arab," the man who wasn't identified in the press release or video said. "F*** you."
