Police are probing a possible hate crime after a group of men dressed like the far-right group Proud Boys disrupted a drag queen story hour for preschool children at a San Francisco Bay Area public library.
Lt. Ray Kelly of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded Saturday afternoon after five men wearing the Proud Boys’ black-and-yellow colors crashed the Pride Month event at San Lorenzo Library.
No one was injured or arrested, The Associated Press reported.
“It appears the group of men may be affiliated with the Proud Boys organization,” Lt. Kelly said Sunday, adding that deputies will be stationed at future drag queen story hours “to deal with any disruptors.
