 <\/p>\n

Police are investigating the \u201cracially motivated\u201d beating of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from midtown bars early Saturday when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted \u201cTrayvon\u201d before the attack.<\/p>\n

\n

The exclamation was an apparent reference to Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old from Miami who was shot and killed in February walking back to his father\u2019s girlfriend\u2019s house in Sanford.<\/p>\n

His shooter, George Zimmerman, has not been charged.<\/p>\n

The case of Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was killed by Zimmerman, a Hispanic crime-watch volunteer, has stirred conversations across the country about race, crime and profiling.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe that case was the catalyst for the beating Saturday in Gainesville.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do believe that the crime was racially motivated,\u201d Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri said.<\/p>\n

The assailants were black, while the victim is white, Valuri said.<\/p>\n

She said the victim had been drinking and could not provide a description of the attackers or their vehicle, only that it was a mid-size vehicle.<\/p>\n

But Valuri said his injuries were consistent with being jumped by a group.<\/p>\n

During what he told police was a five-minute beating, he sustained injuries to the left eye, abrasions to his palms and a cut on his right kneecap, and Valuri said he would likely have \u201cpermanent disfigurement to the left side of his face.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was taken to Shands at the University of Florida for treatment.<\/p>\n

The attack occurred at about 2:45 a.m. in the 3200 block of Southwest 23rd Terrace.<\/p>\n

The victim told police that a vehicle was coming east on Southwest 32nd Place when it stopped at 23rd Terrace.<\/p>\n

A group of men got out and told him he was walking too slowly, the victim told police.<\/p>\n

They then yelled \u201cTrayvon,\u201d according to a GPD report, and proceeded to beat him.<\/p>\n
