In New York City alone, police have investigated 42 attacks on Asian-Americans in the first quarter of 2021, a 223 percent increase over the 13 attacks reported during the first quarter of 2020, according to a report from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.
The rise in attacks mirrors a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes nationwide. In 2020, 122 incidents of such crimes occurred in 16 of the nation's most populous cities—a nearly 150 percent increase over 2019, according to the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, VOA reported.
Another group, Stop AAPI Hate, has tracked more than 6,600 reported attacks against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders since the start of the pandemic last March. A video has captured an anti-Asian attack against a woman in New York City's Chinatown. In this March 02, 2021 photo, people walk through Chinatown. Chinatown, one of Manhattan's oldest neighborhoods, has experienced an uptick of attacks that police are calling anti-Asian hate crimes.
