A man was arrested after police said he threw a cup of gasoline on another man and tried to light him on fire in Southern California, authorities said.
Detectives were investigating the incident as a possible hate crime because the attacker "made a derogatory comment towards Hispanics" when he doused the victim in gasoline Wednesday in Westminster, police said in a statement.
The victim was sitting in his car at the time of the attack and was able to drive away before the suspect ignited the gasoline, the statement said.
