Recently, hate crimes against Asians continue to occur in the United States.
On a street in New York, an Asian man in his 60s has been hit in the head several times and is now in critical condition.
Reporter Kim Jung-ki reports.
<Reporter> It
is East Harlem, New York, around 8:20 p.m. local time on Friday evening.
A man is attacked from behind and falls.
Even after falling on the floor, the suspect kicks the man's head over and over again.
And then it disappears.
The victim was a 61-year-old Asian male, whose name was not disclosed.
A bus driver found this man, who had fallen unconscious, and reported it to the police.
This man is now known to be critical.
New York police assigned a hate crime team and released videos and photos of the suspect's assault.
In January, an 84-year-old man from Thailand was assaulted and killed as a man on a walk. I lost and bruised my eyes.
In one survey, 8 out of 10 Asians living in the United States feel that hate crimes are on the rise, and 4 out of 10 say they have experienced hate crimes, both large and small.
On the 23rd, the US Senate passed an Asian hate crime prevention bill with overwhelming approval, but the reality has not changed much.
