55-year-old Asian Woman Brutally Punched and Knocked Out by Homeless Guy
Police have arrested a homeless man after another violent attack on an Asian woman in the city. The incident, which happened on a crowded sidewalk, was caught on camera. The Guardian Angels watched over Kong Sihk Tong restaurant in Chinatown on Tuesday, where less than 24 hours before a 55-year-old Asian woman was brutally punched and knocked out cold. Video shows that as she lay motionless on the sidewalk, the suspect can be heard screaming that someone hit him. But witnesses and surveillance video show that was anything but the truth. “The woman hit the ground, her butt hit the ground, she fell back, the back of her head hit the outdoor dining structure. And her eyes just shut off, blacked out,” said a witness. Another witness quickly whipped out his phone to record video of the suspect before dashing over to the nearest precinct, alerting cops there the man was attempting to escape. “I was like, ‘Hey officer, a woman down the block just got knocked unconscious. The suspect is fleeing on feet. Follow me and we’ll catch up to him,'” he said. Their fast thinking, along with the work of restaurant staff members who followed the suspect, helped authorities arrest 48-year-old Alexander Wright. Last year alone, he was arrested eight times for arson and assault. “We have more work to do with mental health and criminal justice, gotta glue them together,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “Lives in a shelter, arrested eight times in the last year, randomly assaulting people, setting fires. The guy that was arrested on Friday setting fires. What are we doing in society, we’re releasing these people right back onto the street?” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said. |

America needs to bring back asylums and fast. This whole "leave the insane on the streets"-thing isnt working.

What a left hook! This is what happens when cities just let homeless people do whatever they want until they hurt someone. I blame the city officials for not trying to rehabilitate homeless people with mental health and work programs. Most cities have always had this problem and choose to ignore it.
