A deranged man walked as much as a 72-year-old Asian girl and slugged her within the face on a Manhattan avenue Wednesday in what cops are investigating as a possible hate crime.
The assault occurred as the lady was strolling close to Delancey and Allen Street within the Lower East Side at round 1 p.m., in line with police.
The sufferer was taken to Bellevue Hospital, the place she was listed in secure situation.
Raoul Hyacianthe was arrested and charged with assault as a hate crime. The 44-year-old suspect apparently exchanged no phrases with the sufferer earlier than he allegedly punched her.
Hyacianthe has a prolonged rap sheet together with arrests for theft, legal mischief, menacing and legal possession of a managed substance.
Hate crimes towards Asian Americans have elevated in New York City and throughout the nation following the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic.
