VIDEO OF WOMAN WANTED FOR ALLEGED ASIAN HATE CRIME IN LONG ISLAND CITY
Suspect In Asian Hate Crime In Long Island City
Thursday night there was a anti Asian attack on Center Blvd in Long Island City in the Hunters Point South area.
This wonderful Asian couple was walking down Center Blvd when a African American lady, Dressed in all grey, Grey wig, small push basket with grey bags in it, hit them on back of head, sprayed some unknown substance on them and then chased them down Center Blvd to Frank Ottomanelli By The Water Cafe.
The couple were terrified and ran into the Cafe where staff protected them and called James Edstrom who is the President Of The Hunters Point Civic Association.
I noticed her minutes before staff called me. I was with my friend Julia. I pointed her out because she was acting strange, very weird. So I watched her. When Staff called me ( Frank was at a Steak Competition in Brooklyn) I ran to the Cafe and went inside and the couple was terrified. I told them to come out, sit at table, I would get cops and we would protect them. Franks staff was wonderful, it was so busy, but they took the time to get napkins so they could wash the substance off the couples hair while we waited for police.
It turns out, when this woman attacked them, they chased them to the cafe and when I saw this woman, she was looking for them, but at that time I did not know. While she chased them, according to the couple, she was yelling anti Asian hate speech, cursing at them. The poor couple was terrified. I called 911 several times for help, I told them this was a hate crime, we all sat with the couple till police and Ambulance arrived.
I have already spoken to hate crimes unit, they are on this big time. Captain Hameed Armani also called me from vacation. He says everyone is on this, top priority. He will not stand for this in his precinct.
While filming for Fox 5 NY today, the woman was spotted. When she was approached she ran. The NYPD was called, but no luck finding her. She is around and we will find her.
This is a ongoing Hate Crime investigation and the NYPD as well as the media is going out full force to find this woman. Great story on QNS.Com by Bill Parry.
