“One of the victims was with their 15-month-old baby at the time and the defendant attempted to knock over the stroller,” Assistant District Attorney Kelli Muse said during Xhelili’s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court Friday. “She didn’t even care for the well-being of a baby — that’s how serious this hate crime is.”
