Five Elderly Asian Women Attacked in Possible NYC Hate Crime
From 1010 WINS:
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) —Police say five elderly Asian women have been assaulted on the Lower East Side since the end of March and the alleged attackers are still on the loose.
The beatings are being investigated as possible bias crimes.
Police say the group of teens struck five times between March 31 and Monday. Three of those incidents were at the Baruch Houses.
The victims, all Asian women ranging in age from 50 to 71, were allegedly jumped and beaten by the group.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force are investigating the alleged attacks because it appears the group is targeting the women based on their ethnicity.
