ASIAN AMERICANS IN NYC BE CAREFUL!⁠
⁠
2 Asian Americans were victims in separate attacks on NYC’s subway stations last week.⁠
⁠
Gladys Chen was standing on the N/R/W train platform when a woman randomly struck her in the face. Chen, who believes her attacker was “mentally ill,” suffered a bloody nose. Chen and her sister were the only Asians on the platform at the time. Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.⁠
⁠
Iqbal Ahmed, a 76-year-old Pakistani American, was heading home from work when a man demanded money and stabbed him in his left shoulder. Ahmed, who was stabbed inches away from his heart, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital. ⁠
Ahmed remains at the hospital as doctors worry about his lungs, according to NBC New York. He organized a GoFundMe page to ask for help covering his medical expenses.⁠
⁠
David Trotman, arrested for assaulting Ahmed, is facing multiple assault charges. He is also accused of groping a 21-year-old woman.⁠
⁠
Meanwhile, Chen’s assailant is understood to be at large. Police reportedly described the suspect as a white woman standing 5 feet and 4 inches, weighing 180 pounds with brown hair that was in a ponytail.⁠
