Noel Quintana said he was slashed across the face. When I was attacked on the subway, there were so many New Yorkers around me, but nobody came to my help, nobody made a video, the 61-year old Filipino American said. I was scared I wasn t going to make it. . We are all New Yorkers, and we should be looking out for each other.
Quintana, a New Yorker, described the February 3 attack to city leaders, Asian Americans and their supporters who attended the Rise Up Against Anti-Asian Hate rally in Foley Square on Saturday.

Armed with only whistles and pamphlets, the volunteer neighbourhood patrol roams the streets, checking out ATMs and mum-and-pop shops in areas where Asian residents have experienced attacks that have left this neighbourhood on edge. Some volunteers drive more than an hour to walk these blocks - largely deserted by a combination of fear and pandemic lockdown - to hand out bilingual fliers that explain how to report a crime to police. Similar patrols have sprouted in Asian neighbourhoods in Oakland, California, Los Angeles and New York City, a response to what these communities say is a wave of racist violence and harassment since headlines about a virus from China began appearing in US media a year ago.
