#Asian woman seriously injured in suspected Midtown hate crime

A racist attacker beat an Asian woman who was walking to her Midtown church on Monday morning in a suspected hate-driven attack — as a security guard in a nearby building watched and did nothing to help, according to police and footage of the attack.

The unidentified suspect allegedly hurled anti-Asian statements as he punched and kicked the 65-year-old woman on West 43rd Street near Ninth Avenue at about 11:40 a.m., according to cops.

“F—k you, you don’t belong here,” the brute yelled at the woman, according to sources. 

Video footage of the attack provided by police shows the suspect kicking the victim to the ground — then kicking her in the head several times as she was on the ground.

Several men from a nearby building witnessed the attack, the footage shows, but did not try to help the woman as the suspect was kicking her.

One of the men, who was undoing packages, watched the entire attack unfold, the footage shows. Two other men — who appear to be building security — walked over to the door as the attack ended, but did not chase after the suspect, the video shows.

The suspect ran off and was still being sought Monday night, police said.

The woman, who suffered a fractured pelvis in the beating, was taken to NYU Langone Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.

The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating, police said.

The department has recorded a 1,300 percent increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans since the coronavirus pandemic began.
