A woman who allegedly berated and threatened violence against Asian workers in a Manhattan Chinatown salon, before yelling anti-Asian slurs at an undercover New York Police Department (NYPD) officer, was arrested Tuesday afternoon.
Police identified the perpetrator as a 50-year-old black woman named Sharon Williams. She was initially at the Good Choice for Nails Salon in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, where she made threatening and offensive comments toward the Asian staff, police told The Washington Post.
“You brought coronavirus to this country!” she allegedly yelled.
Williams later allegedly harassed an Asian pedestrian outside the salon when an Asian American plainclothes NYPD officer approached her. She started berating the undercover cop as well and called him a “monkey,” police said, according to the New York Daily News.

On such treks, two things make me comfortable.
The first is being
physically comfortable, ideally while driving a machine with a suspension that can take some rough-road abuse without sounding or feeling like it’s getting smashed to pieces. Exploring new trails is always more fun when your ride doesn’t sound like it’s about to cough up a strut.
The second thing that makes me comfortable is
confidence. If I’m miles from anything, deep in the wilderness, the confidence of knowing I have more traction, clearance and toughness than I need makes for more comfortable adventuring.
