https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10310277/Thai-model-23-just-moved-NYC-says-shes-lucky-alive-brutal-subway-attack.html

An aspiring model who recently moved from her native Thailand to pursue her dreams in the Big Apple said she is 'lucky to be alive' after a brutal beating in the subway by a deranged mugger last month. In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Bew Jirajariyawetch, 23, said the horrific 4 am attack after she was going home from a concert is still a blur. Jirajariyawetch was grabbed from behind in a chokehold, thrown to the ground, punched in the face and robbed of her purse at the 34th Street Herald Square station on November 22. In the shocking assault caught on video that captured the out-of-control crime plaguing the city, the mugger - who police have yet to identify - can be seen dragging Jirajariyawetch along the northbound platform servicing the D, F, N and Q lines before throwing her to the ground. A photo taken by the model shortly after the assault shows her face bruised and swollen, with dried blood near her nose and a burst blood vessel in her left eye. New York City saw a surge in violent assaults on the subway when she was attacked, with a 45 percent increase in the past 28 days as compared to last year. That week, a 141 percent increase was reported for transit crime.

Anti-Asian violence has also plagued the city this year, with 127 attacks against Asians - a nearly five-fold increase from the 28 attacks in 2020. 'There were so many police officers at the subway after the attack but no one was there before. I dont want anyone else to go through this or be hurt by this person. This can not keep happening.' This week, Jirajariyawetch said she finally built up the courage to return to the subway line where she was attacked as she refuses to give up on a modeling career. Moving to the New York City was a 'natural decision' for her, according to her attorney Eric Parnes. 'Bew does not want this negative experience to discourage her thoughts on New York,' Parnes told DailyMail.com. 'Bew has been unquestionably traumatized. She has been struggling with a lack of appetite and persistent nightmares,' he said. 'Living in a foreign country without family is already a difficult situation let alone coping with such an unwarranted act of violence. However, Bew finds strength in speaking out about this and continues to push forward with her aspirations.' He shared her story to 'put pressure on the NYPD,' 'get more tips leading to an arrest' and to 'put more focus on this disturbing trend of violence.'

That is kinda scary it is now happening 5 times as much as before. Wonder if it was always like this and just more people are reporting it.

This shit needs to stop.

Also I believe women are more likely to be mentally traumatized by this.

Trump has made racist scum more empowered so stuff like this is unfortunately more likely. What's worse is we still have people in the GOP who actually still pander to this base.

This is some diabolical shit, but didn't you post this same topic like 2 or 3 times already?

Video is from November

Damn, I'm shocked no one else was there to stop it or call for help or something, even though the attack happened at 4am that station is pretty popular there should have been multiple bystanders there

All three topics were different attacks. Article is from December 15th. As the victim is speaking out about the attack as she is just now getting the courage to ride the train again about one month later. I didnt have to search twitter for the video to post it since it is in article but did that for those that didnt want to click the article. The article video actually shows the entire attack and it a minute long so it was probably unnecessary to post the twitter link anyway that is a clip of it.

It's always unnecessary to post a tweet that links to something else.

Glad I dont live in that shit hole

America.

Same kind of people who thinks going to Thailand is a red flag

Yea, it's much higher in Canada and Australia for example. Anti-asian sentiement has exploded with the current COVID situation. Although this looks like an opportunistic robbery typical of NYC.

The populace is far too fucking jaded.

The reality is that most people aren't willing to fight someone for a stranger, or get involved at all.

they need to arm asians and encourage them to defend themselves against fucking roaches.

I'm super ignorant about NYC

But I figure there would always be people around in the subways? Is that not true?

Or do people just ignore this shit?

Its just a matter of time. Inevitably somebody will fuck with the wrong person.

The only solution to NYC subway attacks is for all white supremacist American men to collectively check their privileges

Even if people were there they might have done nothing but watched due to potential consequences of getting involved, anti police sentimentality and / or being sadistic criminal scum themselves. NYC is quickly becoming a hellhole and no one is safe there.

Happened once, that one time some delivery guy actually shot back, and one of the robbers begged and cried like a little bird.

If only they weren't all talk when their country actually needs them to stand up against criminals and defend it. Then again that would go against their true MO.

omfg....I literally just saw this...
