WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police are reviewing video from a gas station where two college students say they were attacked by a white man shouting racial epithets and the name of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Lt. Jeff Gilmore says the video provides a view of the weekend altercation that's being investigated as a potential hate crime. The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/22m51lz ) reports that police aren't immediately able to determine the accused attacker's identity.

Wichita State University student body vice president Khondoker Usama, who's Muslim, says he was pushed and that a Hispanic friend was punched and kicked. A police report says the friend suffered a bruised lip. Usama says a black customer also was called a racial epithet.

Usama says the man left on his motorcycle, after circling and shouting Trump's name.
