Boston Police report they are looking for a driver they say appeared to aim his car at two members of the orthodox Congregation Kadimah-Toras Moshe on Washington Street in Brighton Friday evening, then yelled an obscene slur at them they managed to get out of his way. In addition to motor-vehicle violations, the driver could face a civil-rights charge, police say. Police say the two congregants were in the crosswalk on Washington Street at Euston Road near the synagogue and Commonwealth Avenue around 7:30 p.m. when the driver of a sedan took umbrage at their existence. After missing them, he fled at a high rate of speed, police say. Police did not provide additional details, such as the type of sedan, but said the investigation is an active one.
