More assaults on Asian American women reported in San Francisco, Baltimore and New York
Asian American women keep getting attacked in cities across the US.
Horrifying assaults have been reported in San Francisco, Baltimore and New York City within the last week.
A man was arrested Tuesday after two Asian women were stabbed while waiting for a bus in San Francisco, police said. On Sunday in Baltimore a man was arrested and accused of beating two Asian American sisters with a cinder block piece at a liquor store and in another incident on Sunday police in New York said two Asian women were attacked by a person wielding a hammer.
Asian Americans reported being targeted at least 2,400 times this year
A center tracking reports of racism and discrimination against Asian Americans says it has received 6,603 firsthand complaints since last year.
Stop AAPI Hate began tracking violence and harassment on March 19 last year as more Asian Americans were verbally and physically assaulted while erroneously being blamed for the Covid-19 pandemic. More than a year later, anti-Asian violence continues to increase nationally with horrifying assaults reported in cities like San Francisco and New York City.
There were at least 2,410 anti-Asian hate incidents in the first three months of this year, according to Stop AAPI Hate’s latest report, released Thursday. That’s more than half the number of incidents that took place last year and were reported to the group.
Experts say hate crimes are astronomically under-reported. Here s why.

When someone interrupted a Connecticut town’s racial equity and justice task force virtual meeting with racist remarks last week, the incident was immediately reported to police.
But that usually isn’t the case, experts say.
In fact, experts and law enforcement officials say many victims of hate crimes don’t report the incidents for a variety of reasons, including fear, denial and embarrassment.
