NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 04: People participate in a protest to demand an end to anti-Asian violence on April 04, 2021 in New York City. The group, which numbered near 3000 and was made up of activists, residents and local politicians, marched across the Brooklyn Bridge. After a rise in hate crimes against Asians across the U.S. and in New York City, groups are speaking up and demanding more attention to the issue.
A video uploaded by a New York congresswoman shows a Black man brutally punching a 55-year-old Asian woman in the face in what has been labeled yet another suspected hate crime incident in the Asian-American community. The woman is seen walking along a sidewalk outside 65 Bayard St., wearing a pink shirt and a white hat and carrying a bag.
