A doorman and a concierge at a Midtown building have been fired after video appeared to show them failing to intervene in the assault of a 65-year-old Asian woman on the sidewalk outside.
The incident happened on March 29th outside a luxury condo on 360 West 43rd Street, when a man was seen in disturbing security footage knocking the woman down, then repeatedly kicking her in the head while shouting, You don t belong here.
Footage of the incident also drew outrage for the apparent inaction of at least three bystanders, who can be seen watching the assault from the lobby of the building. After the attacker flees, one of the men appeared to close the door of the building, even as the woman is writhing on the ground.
