Florida man suspected of Asian woman shoving/punch spree... attacked 7 over 2 hours



The New York Police Department was questioning a suspect Wednesday in connection with a two-hour spree of attacks on women of Asian descent in Manhattan over the weekend, in another example of a grim wave of violence against Asian Americans.

There was no indication the assailant, whom the police described as a man with a light complexion and blonde hair, knew any of the seven victims, two of whom were treated at local hospitals.

The first attack took place at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday around 30th Street and Madison Avenue, when the man approached a 57-year-old woman, and without uttering a word, punched her in the face, the police said. Ten minutes later and a block west, the nightmare repeated itself. The second victim was 25.

The attacks all followed the same template as the assailant made his way south. The next two victims, punched in the face just minutes apart, were also in their early 20s. At 7:05 p.m., a 19-year-old was elbowed in the face at Union Square. Twenty minutes later, the man was on East Houston Street near Mott Street, where he elbowed another woman in the mouth.

Could they possibly be any more cowardly? It's sicknening!

Not only is it disgustingly racist, but to go after women who are usually smaller and can't or won't fight back is especially craven. WTF is wrong with these people?!
