Original Note:
The Asian man was not beaten out of racial or ethnic hatred, but because he had allegedly tried to sexually assault a woman on the train. https://nypost.com/2022/05/30/man-who-filmed-viral-video-gives-an-alleged-reason-behind-hitting-an-asian-man-in-the-metro-nyc/ In a later interview, the Asian radically denied what he said, although he accepted that he had a record of other minor crimes. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10875015/Im-victim-Asian-man-beaten-NYC-subway-station-says-NEVER-touched-anyone.html
