(TJVNEWS.COM) A homeless man with a lengthy arrest record has been apprehended again, this time for allegedly punching an Asian woman in the face as she walked through Chinatown in New York City on Monday afternoon, according to reports.
Alexander Wright, 48, has been charged with assault as a hate crime, assault, and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Video footage of the seemingly unprovoked attack was shared on social media.
The 55-year-old female victim can be seen strolling along a sidewalk in Manhattan when the suspect, approaching from the opposite direction, sucker-punches her in the face, Newswars summarized.
