Sacramento, Calif. (CBS13) – Sacramento Police are looking for two men who violently attacked a 20-year-old transgender woman last week, and the victim says it’s not the first time she’s been the target of a hate crime.

The assault allegedly took place inside of the tunnel between Old Sacramento and the K Street Mall last Friday evening, when the victim says she noticed two men watching her and heckling her.

“They were saying, that’s a dude, that’s a he-she, that’s a f—ing tranny,” Brenda Torres said.
