They had stopped at a red light, in a crowd of at least 100 young people walking on the sidewalk. Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that&#8217;s when the beating began.<\/p>\n<p>Neither suffered grave injuries, but both were out of work for a week. Forster&#8217;s torso ached from blows to his ribs, and he retained a thumb-sized bump on his head. Rostami fears to be alone in her home.
