Security video / via NBC New YorkNew York City police arrested a man caught on tape violently shoving an Asian American woman in an attack that drew community outrage, authorities said Thursday.
The NYPD's 109th Precinct said"numerous tips from the community" played a key role in catching 47-year-old Patrick Mateo,"the suspect in the violent assault of an elderly female on Roosevelt Avenue," in Flushing, Queens, a main hub of the city's Asian American community. "A prime example of the Community & the Police working together for a safer New York City," the NYPD said in a statement.The attack happened Tuesday outside of New Flushing Bakery when 52-year-old victim Lee-Lee Chin-Yeung asked Mateo about the line in front of the business, Queens prosecutors said.
The man inexplicably flew into a rage and later charged at Chin-Yeung, who was lifted off her feet and thrown down, security footage showed. Chin-Yeung hit a metal news rack and had to have stitches to her forehead, prosecutors said. The woman's daughter is a friend of actor Olivia Munn, who asked her Twitter followers to help catch the attacker."Crazy Rich Asians" actor Ronny Chieng also tweeted out
SarcasmvsHumor HATE CRIME!!
why are rednecks targeting people? Australia doesnt give much decent news from USA?
I hope they catch them ALL!!!
kurtbardella 👏🏻👏🏻about time
The man’s last name is Mateo. Statistically his family is likely to be relatively new to America. I’m not aware of many people of his ethnicity that bear hate toward those of Asian heritage. Is this due to trump & Covid or did I miss something?
This guy is scary and very violent.
kurtbardella I am glad they got him!
kurtbardella This is garbage. The people here in the USA are not responsible for anything . Thanks to 45!and his hateful rhetoric people are being harmed only because of their nationality
Lock him up for good.
I'm sure he's been beating woman for year's
Real tough guy. I know this guy. I meet several of him every day. They're like an army of clones and they're everywhere.
Released without bail.
The leftist media pushing false propaganda. The China virus didn’t cause this.
Another reason to despise trump - every time he called covid the 'China' virus, I felt sick about what he was encouraging.
morons with hate as a Blood source will Use Any Excuse to Hurt or Kill someone! 1 John 4:8, 16-21; Galatians 6:7
I’m glad they caught this pos. What a monster. And please don’t call this woman “elderly.” Is 52 elderly?
So now it is the Asian Americans that are getting the blame for the Republicans down fall. But the good Americans will stay togather and end this Trump caused up-evil.
Good.
NYPD is just angry someone other than themselves were violently shoving minorities.
Allhamdulillah
And they had the nerve to call him a man!
Good Iam glad they got the jackass! 👍😃😃
Appalling
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Go NYPD!
A 47 year old man who would do ANYTHING like this is inherently dangerous. I hope they prosecute the hell out of this violent asshole.
Well well, here I thought Donald Trump took us back to the 1950s - 1960s Racial Riots and the Civil Rights movement, but now I see he has taken us back to 1942 and the interment camps. I’ve been saying Trump is the second Hitler!
Did they shoot him because they thought he had a gun?...
BLACK Criminal did this. I want Deportation Laws enacted 2 get 2x convicted criminals out of the country permanently.
Your calling a 52 yr old elderly? Since the guy that attacked her is 47 is this considered elderly on elderly crime? Who’s writing this? An Elderly 23yr old?
YOU ARE NOT SPECIALLY PROTECTED BECAUSE YOU ARE A MINORITY. Assault is assault. There is no indication this was a race-based attack. Only hearsay
What a P.O.S. this guy is. Good work NYPD.
don't make him a real man!! beating up a woman on the streets! . . . even if she has committed a crime and has done sh..it to him, he shouldn't have raised a hand on her like that! no need and no justification for assault and/or battery.
Good.
Real brave man he was! Beating up an old lady? Bet he’s a true blue Q TRUMPLICAN!
Looks like all walks of life is just attacking Asian..Damn, if ws media could blame this on a black person with a bow
Good.
Sick of insolent punks! Must be punished!😡😡
Will they admit this is a hate crime? They seem to have a problem doing that.
So sad
🤬
