An apparent teenager allegedly attacked an Asian man while he was walking on Madison Avenue. The incident occurred in East Harlem, Manhattan, New York around 7:50 pm on Tuesday, reports ABC 7. The 59-year-old was left with minor injuries in an alleged coronavirus-related hate crime.

The Asian man said that he was kicked in the back by the suspect. As a result, the man fell to the ground and scraped up his hands and knees. The victim refused medical attention.

“(Expletive) Chinese coronavirus,” the suspect said before telling the Asian man to go back to his country, according to the victim.

The Asian man said the same suspect spit on his face on Saturday before telling him that the Chinese have coronavirus.

According to the New York Daily Post, the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating both matters. Police are looking for the person in red for questioning.

Mayor de Blasio addressed hate crimes against Asians at an afternoon press conference discussing the coronavirus.

“Right now, we’ve seen particularly troubling instances of discrimination directed at Asian communities, particularly the Chinese community,” de Blasio said. “This is unacceptable.“

“We’ve talked openly and honestly about the fact that too many hate crimes go unreported,” Blasio continued. “I am beseeching you all to tell the members of your communities that if they are the victims of a hate crime it must be reported to the NYPD so we can act on it so we can find the perpetrators and there will be consequences so we can stop them from doing it to another person.”

On the same day, a female Korean student in New York said she was punched in the face by another woman who was mad at her for not wearing a face mask.

“I remember exactly what she said. She said, ‘Where is your f**king mask, you coronavirus b***h,'” the 23-year-old victims said. “I don’t know why she did that to me. I didn’t even do anything to her. I was standing at the door just trying to get into the building.”

UPDATE – 3-14-2020 – Police arrested a 13-year-old boy in connection to the crime, according to the NY Daily News. The teenager’s name is being withheld because he is a juvenile. He turned himself in with his mother on Friday. He was charged with assault and aggravated harassment.
