A suspect who was arrested in New York City in connection with a shocking attack against a 65-year-old Asian-American woman has been charged with hate crimes, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said Wednesday night.
"Mr. Elliot is accused of brutally shoving, kicking, and stomping a 65-year-old mother to the ground after telling her that she didn’t belong here," Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. said in a statement. "Let me be clear: This brave woman belongs here. Asian-American New Yorkers belong here. Everyone belongs here. Attacks against Asian-American New Yorkers are attacks against all New Yorkers, and my Office will continue to stand against hate in all its forms." The crime was captured on video, with the suspect – later identified by authorities as Elliot – shown knocking the woman to the ground and beating her as other people looked on.More Related News
