Black man sought in connection with an incident in Manhattan involving a 65-year-old Asian female

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

In broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, a 65-year-old woman was kicked to the ground and stomped on by a man who police say made "anti-Asian statements". The very same day, police said they were investigating after an Asian man was left unconscious during an attack in the subway.

Both attacks are being investigated as hate crimes — part of a disturbing trend of attacks against the Asian American community during the coronavirus pandemic.

Police say the attack on the woman occurred at about 11:40 a.m. on Monday on the sidewalk outside an apartment building on West 43rd Street. Surveillance video shows an unidentified man violently kick the woman as she falls to the ground, before he continues to kick her several times.

In the video, another person can be seen standing in the building's lobby watching but doing nothing to stop the attack or help the woman. The bystander then closes the front door, while the woman remains on the ground as the attacker casually walks away.

New York City police are investigating two brutal new attacks on Asian Americans.

The woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, The Associated Press reports.

The Brodsky Organization, which manages the apartment building, released a statement saying that a staff member who witnessed the attack has been suspended while the incident is under investigation. It is also working to identify another bystander, a third-party delivery vendor, who witnessed the incident but also failed to intervene.
