Coronavirus hate attack: Woman in face mask allegedly assaulted by man who calls her ‘diseased’
The New York City Police Department’s task force on hate crimes is seeking the public’s help in identifying the man seen in a video apparently punching and kicking the woman.
A woman wearing a face mask was allegedly assaulted and called “diseased” in an incident in a New York City subway that was apparently sparked by bias over the coronavirus.
The New York City Police Department’s hate crimes unit is seeking the public’s help in identifying the man who appears to be kicking and punching the woman in a video posted on Twitter.
“The NYPD and the Hate Crimes Task Force encourage the victim to report this incident to the police for a full investigation,” the task force said in its retweet of a post with the video, captioned, “Chinese woman gets attacked for wearing a mask in nyc.”
The woman, wearing a parka and a yellow mask or scarf covering her mouth, appears to be trying to leave the station when the man physically attacks her.
“Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. yo, yo calm down!” a voice can be heard saying as the man punches and kicks the woman.
Another Twitter user, with the handle @x_ginko, responded to the original tweet by @TonyySays, claiming to have seen the incident.
“She was telling people to move to the right and letting them know she was there. I walked away from her because I wasn’t bothered by it,” @x-ginko wrote.
“When I exited the turnstiles, I saw that a man was talking to her. At [this] point, I was still wearing my headphones, so I couldn’t hear what he was saying. However, when I took off my headphones, I clearly heard the words ‘diseased b—-.’ I also heard her asking him to go away.”
An NYPD spokesman told NBC News on Wednesday that it’s not clear exactly when or where the attack happened.
NBC News could not immediately reach either one of the two Twitter users Wednesday regarding their accounts of the incident.
Marian Guerra, deputy chief of staff for City Councilwoman Margaret Chin, whose district includes the Chinatown neighborhood, said her office learned of the attack Monday night and believe it happened at the Grand Street station in Chinatown.
Guerra said some of their constituents fear they are being unfairly viewed as carriers of the virus, although the outbreak’s epicenter is on the other side of the globe in Wuhan, China. No one in New York City has yet tested positive for the virus.
“We’ve seen a lot of anxieties from folks in the community,” Guerra said, referring to Chinatown residents.
The MTA said it alerted police Monday when the footage first showed up on social media.
“The MTA has no tolerance for bias or hate-based attacks,” according to an MTA statement. “We recently launched an anti-hate campaign to encourage victims and witnesses to report these crimes, and to encourage tolerance that should minimize such unacceptable conduct in the first place.”

How Did Lysol ‘Know’ About the Coronavirus Before it Happened?
Hundreds of Americans evacuated from China as coronavirus infections increase+ MORE secret videos
The coronavirus that’s been making headlines was not known to science before late 2019. And yet, people are posting photos of old bottles of Lysol and Clorox wipes that claim their contents can kill coronavirus. What gives?
This isn’t evidence of a conspiracy. It’s just confusion about a name. This coronavirus is new, but there have been plenty of coronaviruses before it, both human and animal. For example, here is a paper from 1970 describing three different strains of human coronavirus. Heck, the photo we ran with yesterday’s coronavirus article was taken in 2008.
You have heard of coronaviruses before, even if you don’t recognize the name. SARS, the respiratory virus that caused an international outbreak in 2003, was a coronavirus. MERS, another respiratory virus first identified in 2012, is a coronavirus too.
You may have also had a coronavirus. Of common colds, about a third are caused by rhinoviruses. Other culprits include respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and … yep. Coronaviruses. “Most people get infected with these viruses at some point in their lives,” the CDC says on their coronavirus page, and they list four of the strains known to cause colds.
Lysol tested its product against viruses “similar to” 2019-nCoV, their website says. Factcheck.org states that it was tested specifically against the 229E strain, one of the ones that cause the common cold.
