A black woman has been randomly attacking people on the New York City subway, and the NYPD is investigating it as a hate crime because all the victims are white.
Watch below:
Police confirm they are investigating a bizarre Friday afternoon attack, in which a woman sprayed seven people in Manhattan with an unknown substance, as a possible hate crime.
The female suspect is black, and all of the victims are white. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force was investigating.
Police said the woman sprayed victims with an “unknown chemical substance” that victims believe to be mace or pepper spray.
The woman first targeted a subway station in Harlem at 125th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue on Friday around noon. One man was hit in his eye at close range.
Authorities say she then left the station and sprayed five more people on the street.
Minutes later, a woman was sprayed in the station at West 96th Street and Broadway.
“She just walked up to me, literally walked up, maced me and kept walking,” victim Joshua Smith told News 4 New York.
This is a good development. We’ve seen way too many attacks on white people that the cops investigate but don’t put the same label of a hate crime, when it’s pretty obvious they are targeted because of their race. AND it’s absurd for people to think that Trump’s rhetoric encourages people to violence, but ALL the insane vitriol that is pumped into minorities’ minds about how terrible white people are doesn’t compel some nuts to violence. Of course it does. And the NYPD is recognizing that in this case.
