In the latest incident of anti-Asian violence in the United States, a woman was violently attacked by a man on a sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan on Monday. The incident which was caught on a CCTV from across the road showed commuters walk by without intervening.

The video, posted online by police, shows a man walking up to the 65-year-old woman and kicking her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.

He then kicks her several times in the head before walking away.

The video also shows a man, who appears to be a delivery worker, watching the attack unfold from inside the building.

He is then joined by two other men, one of whom closes the door rather than coming to the woman’s aid as the assailant walks away.

The attacker has not been identified and police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, was hospitalised with multiple injuries, including a broken pelvis.

She was in a stable condition Tuesday, police said.

In a statement, the NYPD said the attacker “made anti-Asian statements” towards the victim as he kicked her. It added that the force’s hate crime task is investigating the assault.

In the week of March 15 to 21, police recorded a total of nine hate crimes, up from three in the same period of 2020.
