The suspect who allegedly hit an Asian woman in the head with a hammer earlier this month has been arrested, NYPD says.

Theresa, who moved to New York in 2019 to study for a master's degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology, told the station the attack has left her traumatized and shaken.

After the pandemic started, she went to Taiwan to stay with her parents and had just returned to New York last month to look for a job, WABC reported.Two Asian females, 31 and 29, were walking on the sidewalk when an unknown individual demanded they remove their masks and then struck the 31-year-old in the head with a hammer causing a laceration on May 2, 2021 in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, according to police.

"My mom actually told me please be careful, there's a lot of Asian crime happening in America," Theresa said. The NYPD has reported 81 total anti-Asian hate crimes in 2021 through May 9, a rise from 17 reported by this month last year.
