[Warning: Footage is disturbing]
Surveillance footage seen far and wide shows a man kicking a woman to the sidewalk and stomping on her at least three times in front of a Manhattan apartment building. The victim was identified as a 65-year-old Asian woman.
The New York Police Department shared a “closer look” of the unidentified male suspect. Authorities claim he made what they described as anti-Asian statements.

A building security guard seen on footage also caught flak for not intervening during the attack.
“The staff who witnessed the attack have been suspended pending an investigation in conjunction with their union,” said the Brodsky Organization in a statement to Instagram. Cooperation with police reportedly stopped, however.
Sources say the property owner has stopped cooperating with the police investigation and is refusing to provide additional surveillance recordings without a subpoena. https://t.co/vZicC7Ojzg
