LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) - Police arrested an 18-year-old transient accused of assaulting an interracial teen couple in Longview.

Detective Terry Reece says tips led to Thursday's arrest of Shawn Mooney. He's held for investigation of malicious harassment, a hate crime, with bail set at $200,000.

He's accused of breaking a 14-year-old boy's jaw and throwing a 13-year-old girl to the ground. Racist language was used during the Aug. 21 attack and the suspect wore a black cap with a swastika.

Reece says Mooney also is suspected of spray painting swastikas at the home of a black family in Longview.
