to because the investigation remains ongoing.

Smith's attorneys provided a crash report that says 40 to 60 people ran to the scene after the collision. Smith said the crowd opened all of her vehicle's doors and took her purse.

 My car was immediately surrounded, it was surrounded by 20 or 30 men, they opened all of my car doors,  Smith said.

Smith said some people helped the other driver leave before police arrived.

 When they got her out of the car, a man got in the car, in the driver's seat, and they began to push the car backwards up Paul Street,  Smith said.

Smith said a bystander who tried to help her was threatened with a baseball bat. She said the crowd used racial slurs and told them,  This is our hood. Get out of here. 

Smith says she was told officers couldn't take the bat or take evidence like fingerprints from her car without a warrant.

The crash report provided by Smith's attorneys does not include those details. Local 4 has reached out to the Detroit Police Department for confirmation.

Police, Wayne County Prosecutor's Office respond

Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison said Sept. 20 that the department was aware of the incident and the video circulating online.

Bettison said Detroit police would not tolerate threats, intimidation, harassment or behavior that makes residents feel unsafe.

He also said the conduct of the people involved should not be viewed as representative of Detroit's Arab American community.

 The conduct displayed in this incident does not represent the values of the countless Arab Americans who live, work, serve, and contribute to our city every day,  Bettison said.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said it is waiting for the investigation into the incident to be fully completed.

 When the police complete the investigation and submit the warrant request, we will make a charging decision based solely upon the facts and the law,  Maria Miller, director of communications for the prosecutor's office, said in a statement.
