Anti-Asian hate: New Yorkers hold rally CNN 2/28/2021 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.
