Crime

A video making the rounds on social media provided some comic relief for crime-weary Americans, showing an attempted robbery gone wrong when the intended victim grabbed the criminal and slammed him to the pavement.

New York City police have arrested a suspect in the brutal attack on a 65-year-old Asian American woman outside a Manhattan apartment building, saying the black New Yorker was on parole for the 2002 stabbing murder of his mother.

At least two more high-profile attacks on Asians were caught on video on Monday in New York City in incidents that were made remarkable by both their brutality and the fact that onlookers took no action to assist the victims.
