An Asian woman and her daughter were caught assaulting an unhoused Black man on a video recently shared on X, the platform formally known as Twitter. The video was shared by Don Salmon on Sept. 21 and appears to show a man being assaulted on a busy New York City street.
The video of the two women featured them seemingly trying to get the man to move away from the area where he was sleeping in front of a business called “Creature World.” The daughter appears to try to get the man to move before the mother is seen hitting and kicking the man.
“All we want is a Hate crime bill,” replied one X user. “For reasons like this!”
