The NYPD says a 16-year-old girl has been arrested after an incident last week in which she allegedly assaulted an Asian American woman and harassed her family, as well as a bystander who filmed the altercation.
The victim, who's come forward as 51-year-old Sue Young, said she did not support jail time as a consequence for the teen, and rather hoped for a "professionally mediated discussion."Gary Hershorn / Corbis via Getty Images fileThe New York City police said a 16-year-old girl has been arrested after an incident last week in which she allegedly assaulted an Asian American woman and harassed her family, as well as a bystander who filmed the altercation.
New York County Defender Services indicated that they are not representing the suspect and representatives at Legal Aid were unable to inform NBC News whether the suspect is being represented by their office. Young also said in the statement that she hoped to “decrease the racial tension” between the Black and Asian communities, which she feels has been worsened by the incident.
“I also hope she gets the therapy, counseling and mentorship needed to move up from here,” Lin said in a separate statement. “Let this be a lesson to our community to not bully others.”
