NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is reportedly investigating two attacks targeting Asian Americans—the latest incidents as the city sees a spike in anti-Asian bias crimes.

A 15-year-old boy was beaten in Queens and a 52-year-old woman was almost pushed onto subway tracks in Brooklyn on Saturday, police told the New York Post.
The boy was attacked by five other teens on 99th Street, near 62nd Avenue in Rego Park, around 3 p.m., according to the report.
One of the teens made an anti-Asian comment to the victim before the group punched him in the head, police said.
The teen was reportedly hospitalized in stable condition at Booth Memorial Hospital.
Less than a half-hour later, the 52-year-old woman was nearly pushed onto the tracks at the Myrtle Avenue–Broadway station in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said.
Another woman pushed the victim towards the tracks twice while making unknown remarks, but “a good Samaritan prevented her from falling,” police told the Post.
Three teens were arrested and two more are being sought in the Queens attack. Police are still searching for the woman in the Brooklyn attack.

A Filipina woman was allegedly subjected to racism after asking a boutique employee in Forest Hills, Queens, about their pricing and return policy.
Bea Cruz, 25, a full-time nurse, visited Maiko around 10:30 a.m. on Friday when a male employee suddenly started speaking in a racist manner and became aggressive towards her, according to CBS New York.
According to Cruz, the employee snapped at her after she asked some questions about the store’s policies, but he was already rude to her from the beginning.
“He turn around and blew up at me. ‘You talk too much. This is not China; this is America,’” Cruz told Kiran Dhillon of CBS2 on Sunday. “I got triggered because that’s racist.”
Cruz attempted to persuade the employee, but he continued with his aggression and tried to rip the clothes from the woman’s hands.
“He’s like, ‘Gimme, gimme, you can’t buy this.’ Still, at this moment, I was saying, I will buy this. Just don’t say this to me,’” she recalled.
Cruz decided to film the incident when things escalated further.
She told Dhillon that she backed away as the man grabbed hold of a metal hanger, and then “whipped me with the romper he had in his hand.” Cruz said she never had any negative encounters with the same employee during previous visits.
The employee denied what happened and said that Cruz was being disruptive. The owner of Maiko refused to give a comment on the matter.
Cruz is grateful to the elected officials for tackling the anti-Asian hate crimes in the city. She hopes other community members would also speak out when they encounter such incidents.
Cruz plans to file an official police report.
New York saw an increase of 223% in Asian hate crimes for the first quarter of 2021. Police received 42 reports of bias crimes, up from the 13 incidents recorded from the same period last year.
