Two Asian women attacked on NYC subways, cops say

 

Two Asian women were assaulted by strangers in separate attacks in the city’s subway system Tuesday, police said.

A 58-year-old woman was punched in the back of the head around 6:50 a.m., causing her to fall on the northbound A platform at 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem, police said.

She reported the crime later at the 33rd Precinct station house later in the day and refused medical attention.

Several hours later, a 71-year-old woman was struck in the face and body while on a moving subway in Times Square around 12 p.m., police said.

Her attacker fled to the street at West 53rd Street and Eighth Avenue, police sources said. Police weren’t able to say what train she was on.

It wasn’t immediately unclear if either of the attackers made anti-Asian comments, but the city saw a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes after the coronavirus pandemic started.

The city is still reeling after a knife-wielding man stabbed two homeless people to death and wounded two others on the A train over the weekend.

“Our thoughts are with the victims of these horrible attacks,” MTA spokesperson Shams Tarek said.

“The NYPD’s recent increase in Transit Bureau officers into the subway system is a welcome first step. But we continue our call for an additional 1,000 officers – to address this recent uptick in crime and to bring transit policing back to the level it was when the NYPD took over responsibility for keeping riders and transit workers safe.”

A crisis of racist anti-Asian speech surfaces at Lower Moreland High School

Frustrated. Disappointed. Embarrassed. Unsafe. Angry.

That’s how students, parents, and community members have described their feelings to Lower Moreland Township School District officials in public comment submissions over the past month.

Their messages come in response to a string of events that have followed the resurfacing of students’ anti-Asian hate speech on social media — a flashpoint event that led to widespread concern over racism in the classroom and outside of it. Now, the district says it’s working to address those concerns.

According to 2019 census data, Lower Moreland Township is 81.5% white, 13.6% Asian, and 3.2% Black, with a very small percentage of Latino residents. The local high school reports 21% enrollment of students of color.

In spring 2020, a text chain between several students at Lower Moreland High School was reported to the district via a school safety program. The chain — which included texts like “F***ing stupid asians shouldn’t be in this country” and “they should be stoned then [lynched]” — was evaluated by the district and the local police department, which conducted an investigation, spoke to the parents of students who wrote the texts, and finally determined that the incident presented was not a “credible threat toward the school community.”

“It involved police, we did investigate that, and it was done outside the school day, outside school grounds, it was done on non-school-issued devices,” Scott Davidheiser, superintendent of the Montgomery County district, told WHYY News last week.

An elementary school worker was assaulted in an unprovoked attack at a Rosemead, California bus stop.

 

Last week, Matthew Leung, 51, who has worked as a paraprofessional for more than 20 years at Gates Street Elementary School, was standing at a bus stop near Rosemead Boulevard and Marshall Street when a man on a bike approached him.

Leung struck a conversation with the man, asking him what bus number he was taking. The man responded with a number and said he was going to shop for shoes.

Five minutes later, the man returned and took Leung’s walking stick and started beating him with it for no apparent reason.

According to a GoFundMe page set up for Leung by his colleagues from Gates Street Elementary School, Leung was left bleeding on the ground until a person found him and called 911. Leung lost part of his finger and suffered from a head concussion, requiring stitches.
