An Arab Muslim student at Stanford University was hurt in a hit-and-run on campus, and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is opening a hate crime investigation, authorities said.

The student, Abdul Omira, told ABC News he was in a crosswalk when he was struck Friday afternoon.

Omira said the driver "made eye contact with him," accelerated and hit him, and then drove away and yelled "f--- you and your people" out the car window, according to Stanford's Department of Public Safety.
