In the video, posted online by police, the man can be seen walking up to the 65-year-old woman and kicking her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
Investigators are also looking into the alleged indifference of security guards of a building who were merely watching the assault and failed to help the victim. rdThe security guards of the building that failed to provide help to the fallen victim have been reportedly suspended pending an investigation.
On Tuesday, United States President Joseph Biden condemned the attack against Asian-Americans anew, saying that these attacks are “wrong, un-American, and must stop.”
