A suspect in custody for an unprovoked knife attack against an Asian man in Chinatown on Thursday evening has now been charged with a hate crime, a police spokesperson tells NBC News. It's the latest in a string of attacks against the Asian community in New York City. The 36-year-old victim was walking outside the federal courthouse near the corner of Worth Street and Baxter Street around 6:30 p.m. Thursday when the incident occurred, police sources said. The suspect approached him from behind, and stabbed the man in the back. Police believe a large knife that was recovered at the scene was used in the attack. Democratic District Leader Jenny Low was at the scene afterward, saying she saw blood stains on the ground. "Outrageous isn't even the right word because we have been seeing so many more attacks on Asians," Low said. The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was in critical condition, police said. The suspect, later identified as Salman Muflihi, was arrested after turning himself in Thursday night.

Muflihi, 23, has since been charged with attempted murder in the second degree as a hate crime, as well as assault as a hate crime. He also faces charges of criminal possession of a weapon and forgery for a fake New York driver's license. He was set to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court. The NYPD's Hate Crimes Unit was originally notified of the incident, but it was not being investigated as a possible hate crime as of Friday morning after the suspect told police the attack was not motivated by race or ethnicity. It was later that afternoon that an NYPD spokesperson confirmed the new charges to NBC News. Just last week, the NYPD said there were five attacks in two days on Asian Americans throughout the five boroughs. One of those included a 52-year-old woman who was thrown into newsstands in Queens. The suspect in that attack was later caught after video was shared on social media.

The tweet has a part of the attack on video around 30 second mark: https://twitter.com/CeFaanKim/status/1365313399773609986

How does that protect you from being stabbed in the back? I mean guns are great for frontal attacks sure.

Yeah but a gun means nothing if someone sneaks up on you and stabs you in the back. You need to know you are being attacked to even pull your gun. Having a gun doesn't give you a sixth sense.

If I'm attacked in any fashion I'd rather have one than not. It could potentially stop an attack from going any further. Plus not all attacks are going to be like this.

east Asians were a republican-leaning voting block, right?

I wonder how this is going to affect voting in the future?

It seems like somebody is pushing for this to be charged as a hate crime even though it doesn't appear to be one.

Why should a random act of violence be considered a hate crime?

Oh I am pro gun. Yes it is better to be armed then not being armed. Just pointing out a gun wouldn't change this situation.
