A man has been charged with attempted murder as a hate crime after he brutally attacked a 67-year-old woman of Asian descent in Yonkers, New York. He called her an anti-Asian, sexist slur before he repeatedly punched her in the head in a building’s vestibule. The shocking assault was captured on a security camera. Anti-Asian hate crimes have skyrocketed since the start of the pandemic.

Today marks one year since the mass shooting at three Atlanta spas, which killed eight people, six of them women of Asian descent. Commemorations and rallies are taking place across the U.S. today.
