【武漢肺炎】亞裔乘客在紐約地鐵常受襲

Train rider sprays Asian passenger with air freshener amid Covid-19 fears  (09 Mar 2020)

紐約佈克林區發生了被視為武漢肺炎引起的仇恨罪案。一個乘客在地鐵上﹐用空氣清新噴霧器﹐噴向一個亞洲人﹐意圖把他驅趕。襲擊者是一個非洲裔人。他向站在旁邊的亞洲人大喊大罵﹕『叫他走開﹗』
當一個乘客問為什麼他要亞洲人走開﹐襲擊者答說『他站得太過接近我』。
眼見亞洲人沒有走開﹐他就拿起一瓶空氣清新噴霧器噴向亞洲人。他繼續說﹐『你還不滾開﹐我就打你你快滾好了。

BROOKLYN, New York, (ANN): In what is being reviewed as a coronavirus-related hate crime, a train commuter tried driving an Asian passenger away by spraying what appeared to be an air freshener in the United States.
An African-American passenger in Brooklyn, New York City, began shouting and cursing because an Asian man was standing close to him, a certain Doris Au uploaded a video on her Facebook account last Wednesday, March 4.
The two were shown standing in the moving train in the first clip. The Asian man quietly leaned against the subway door, while the angry passenger moved around the relatively empty train.
“Tell him to move!” the black man, wearing a gray-and-white jacket, said.
When a fellow passenger off-camera asked him why the Asian man needed to move, the aggressive passenger replied: “Because he’s standing right f*cking next to me!”
After the Asian passenger refused to respond, the black man grabbed a purple bottle and began spraying it right in front of his fellow train rider. The disinfectant was believed to be a Febreze bottle, the New York Post reported on March 5. He then leaned in an adjacent door facing the Asian man.
“You don’t want to move I’ll fight you. You better move, ” the black man repeated.
The Asian man confronted the angry passenger in a second video. The black man was already seated when the Asian asked: “Why is that? Why can’t I sit next to you?” Before things could escalate, a woman pulled the Asian man away.
Chinese-American actress Celia Au condemned the angry passenger’s “racist” behavior on her Twitter account last Thursday, March 5.
