Doormen Who Stood By After Brutal Attack on Asian Woman Are Fired

One was seen on video closing the door to the Midtown Manhattan building after the attack, as the victim, a Filipino-American woman, lay on the street outside.

The lobby staff members who closed the door to a Manhattan apartment building last week without taking immediate action after a Filipino-American woman was brutally attacked on the street outside have been fired, the building told residents in an email on Tuesday. Rick Mason, the executive director of management at the Brodsky Organization, which owns the luxury apartment building in Midtown, told residents in an email that two doormen who were inside the building at the time had not followed “emergency and safety protocols.” “For this reason, their employment has been terminated, effective immediately,” his email said. Mr. Mason did not identify the doormen, and a spokeswoman for the union that represents them did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
