NYC security guard accused of doing nothing as Asian women is attacked
New York City NY March 31 2021
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating a brutal assault in Hell’s Kitchen in the latest attack on an Asian New Yorker. CBS2’s Ali Bauman reports.
This morning, the latest victim of an attack on an Asian-American here in the city remains hospitalized in serious condition.
The 65-year-old woman was brutally beaten outside a residential building in Hell’s Kitchen, and the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is criticizing a security guard who saw the attack and failed to act. CBS 2’s Ali Bauman reports.
Surveillance video shows a man kick a 65-year-old woman to the ground, stomping on her several times before, police say, he made anti-Asian statements. Sources tell CBS 2 he also said, you don’t belong here, and then ran off. This happened just before noon Monday on West 43rd Street. This happened while the security guard did nothing.
The Asian Hate Crimes Task Force tweeted the video, saying, in part, the cold-hearted building security guard not only failed to render aid, but he also closed the door on the victim.
Dozens gathered in Queens Monday night for a candlelight vigil remembering the lives lost in the Atlanta shooting and standing with all victims of hate.
Asian-Americans for too long in this country have been shamefully scapegoated because of ignorant fear said one woman who attended.
Starting this week, undercover Asian-American police officers will be walking the streets with the purpose of hate crime prevention and response. Investigators are asking anyone with information on these attacks to call police. From Hell’s Kitchen, Ali Bauman, CBS 2 News.
