A 20-year-old "skinhead" told police that his leg was broken over the weekend when he was struck by a car whose driver he had insulted in Memory Grove.

Police said a group of "skinheads" apparently called the motorist a derogatory name when he refused to answer their questions. The motorist made a U-turn, struck the victim with his car and drove away, according to reports.The victim, whom officers described as "uncooperative," refused emergency medical treatment but was advised to go to a hospital, according to a police report issued Sunday.

Investigators said the victim admitted that he and another "skinhead" had gone to the park early Saturday to confront homosexuals. He also told police that he hadn't thought the motorist would actually hit him.
