A 65-year-old woman who came to the United States from the Philippines was attacked while walking to church in New York City on Monday. A man kicked her several times. Police arrested him on Wednesday on assault and hate crime charges. The man shouted anti-Asian insults and reportedly said “you don’t belong here.” The woman, identified as Vilma Kari, was taken to the hospital with broken bones. She was released a day later. Nguyen Van is a 76-year-old woman who lives in the Bronx area of New York City. She told VOA that she is afraid to go out even though she does not know of any problems in her neighborhood. “I’m afraid if they hit me, I’ll fall,” she said. “I don’t get it why they would attack an Asian woman in the street, I feel so bad for her.” The New York attack came about two weeks after six Asian women were killed by Robert Aaron Long in the southern U.S. state of Georgia. The women all worked at spas near Atlanta. AAPI stands for Asian American and Pacific Islanders. A group called Stop AAPI Hate said 3,800 anti-Asian incidents were reported in the last year.
