Another Asian American was attacked in San Francisco.
On May 4, local time, a man attacked two Asian women who were waiting for a bus with a knife.
At present, the man has been arrested and the two women have been taken to the hospital. As of May 5, the two have not been discharged.
According to the police, the two women who were attacked were 65 and 85 years old. At the time, both of them were waiting for the bus.
Among them, the 85-year-old victim was severely injured with a knife in the chest and arm and was admitted to the hospital.
Her granddaughter initiated a fundraiser, hoping to raise medical expenses for her grandmother. So far, more than 46,000 US dollars have been raised.
An eyewitness said, “The attacker went straight to the victim and attacked with a knife in broad daylight.”
About two hours after the incident, the police arrested 54-year-old Patrick Thompson on two counts of attempted murder.
Investigators are working to determine whether the attack was motivated by racial prejudice and whether hate crime charges should be filed in this case.
