A San Francisco man suspected of attacking a woman and calling her ethnic slurs at a San Jose train station this week is set to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Santa Clara County Superior Court.
The 26-year-old woman, who is of Asian descent, was waiting for a morning commuter train at Diridon Station about 7 a.m. Wednesday when Johan Strydom allegedly attacked her, police said.
Authorities said Strydom, 32, grabbed the woman by her neck, threw her onto the floor and said (Expletive) you, Asians.

The Sharks spotted Colorado a 2-0 lead before storming back to score the next six for a 6-2 win at SAP Center on Monday night.
Rudolfs Balcers scored a tie-breaking goal at 4:18 of the third period and Timo Meier added a career-high three assists as San Jose snapped a two-game losing streak that began at the outset of a critical seven-game homestand.
“Putting 60 (minutes) has been a challenge,” Sharks head coach Bob Boughner said. “Everyone’s sick of talking about detail and structure. … Let’s just go out and do it.”

The Sharks lost Tomas Hertl to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list, welcomed three healthy regulars back yet stubbed their toe big time Saturday night.
San Jose wasted two goals each from Evander Kane and Timo Meier when it surrendered three in the third period to the St. Louis Blues, who broke a three-game losing streak with a 7-6 win at SAP Center.
“That one is on us,” Sharks coach Bob Boughner said. “I think we gave up 13 chances and seven of them are in the back of our net. You’re not going to win many hockey games like that.”
Postgame Hat Trick: Wild 6, Sharks 2
Minnesota pulls away with three second period goals Monday night in San Jose by Dan Myers @mnwildscribe / Wild.com
Wild.com s Dan Myers gives three takeaways from the Wild s 6-2 win against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center in San Jose on Monday night:
1. The Wild is officially streaking for the first time this season.
They say you can t call it a winning streak until you ve won at least three consecutive games. After another impressive road effort, this time in Northern California, the Wild is doing just that.
It was an inauspicious start too. Former Wild defenseman Brent Burns scored off the rush 45 seconds into the game, and for the first time in nearly a week, the Wild was trailing in a hockey game.
