The victim fell to the ground and hit his head. That’s when the unidentified man struck him multiple times before fleeing into the F-line train station.
The victim sustained non-life-threatening head injuries and was transported via EMS in stable condition to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was treated and released, according to police.
No arrests have been made at this time and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The incident is the latest in a string of assaults against Asian Americans in New York and other cities such as Oakland and San Francisco.
