A night out at a Pennsylvania bar turned into a violent, racially charged assault that left a woman injured and shaken, according to police.

Authorities say a Baltimore woman was attacked on January 10 at the Hanover Eagles club in York County after a confrontation that quickly escalated from hostile questioning to physical violence. A local couple, Richard Willis Mitchell Jr., 62, and Sara Tresnak, 51, now face charges including misdemeanor ethnic intimidation, disorderly conduct, and harassment.

According to court documents and reporting from The Evening Sun, the victim was approached by the pair and questioned about where she was from and her ethnicity. When she explained that her father is Black and Puerto Rican and her mother is Italian, police say the tone immediately shifted.

Mitchell allegedly told the woman that Hanover was a “redneck town” and warned her that she “wasn’t going to make it here.” Moments later, the argument turned violent.

Police say Mitchell grabbed the woman by the neck and forced her to the ground while Tresnak struck her repeatedly. During the assault, Mitchell allegedly shouted racial slurs, including the N-word, and told the woman she “didn’t belong here,” should “go back to pig town,” and that “this is a MAGA town.”

Other patrons inside the club intervened, pulling the attackers away and stopping the beating.

When officers arrived, they documented visible injuries consistent with the woman’s account, including bruising around her eye and arm, as well as scrapes and abrasions. Multiple witnesses corroborated what the woman told police, according to the criminal complaint.

The couple later acknowledged that an altercation took place but claimed the woman attacked them first. Police say witness statements and physical evidence contradicted that version of events.

The victim, who had been targeted over her race and identity, required medical attention and was left dealing not only with physical injuries but the trauma of a public attack fueled by hate.

Mitchell and Tresnak are scheduled to return to court on February 17. The case remains under review as prosecutors move forward on charges tied to what police describe as a racially motivated assault.
