Original Story:
New images emerged Tuesday of a suspect wanted in connection with a vicious attack against an Asian woman in midtown Manhattan.
The NYPD is on the hunt for a male suspect Tuesday after security camera footage showed the man brutally kicking and attacking an elderly Asian woman in midtown Manhattan in broad daylight.
“The video appears to show the woman getting kicked in the stomach, which causes her to fall. The assailant proceeds to pummel her while she is on the ground, kicking her in the head and body. An individual described in reports as a security guard — seems unwilling to render aid to the woman, and instead closes the door after the attack,” reports Fox News.
The woman was later taken to the hospital with a fractured pelvis.
According to ABC News, the victim was on her way to church when the attack took place.
