New York African-American man stomped on unemployed Chinese New Yorkers: finally caught and charged with murder

Asian discrimination has been a major concern in the United States recently, as attacks against Asians have become more frequent. A Chinese man in New York was suddenly attacked from behind and stomped on his head several times, and was sent to the hospital in critical condition. The New York police arrested a 49-year-old black male suspect on Tuesday after an investigation and charged him with intent to murder and two counts of hate attack, a total of three counts.

Police traced the attacker through CCTV footage and successfully targeted him, and arrested Jarrod Powell, a 49-year-old black man, on Tuesday (27). Police originally intended to charge him with two counts of aggravated attempted assault, but eventually changed the charge to three counts, including intent to murder and two counts of hate assault.

Community member Karlin Chan, who spoke on behalf of the victim’s wife Baozhen Chen, denounced Powell’s depraved behavior and called on the prosecution to prosecute him to the fullest extent.

The 13-second CCTV footage released by the police shows that Yao Pan Ma, a 61-year-old Chinese man, was attacked from behind while collecting soda cans on the street to help make up for his family’s loss last Friday night (23), and was repeatedly stomped on the head with his foot at least six times after he fell to the ground. Ma was taken to hospital with a brain injury and facial fractures, and is now in critical condition.

Since the outbreak of the pneumonia epidemic in the United States, discrimination against Asians has increased, and recently there have been frequent attacks on Asians. “The Stop AAPI Hate report cites 3,800 hate incidents against Asian Americans between February and March, ranging from verbal harassment to discrimination in the workplace.

In response, the NYPD formed a team of plainclothes Asian officers to patrol public places to combat potential crimes against Asians. Police say they have investigated more than 60 suspected crimes against Asian-Americans this year, 42 of which were classified as hate crimes.
