According to the person who shot the video, the assailants told him the Asian man had attempted to sexually assault a woman prior to the attack and that he should call the cops, reported the NY Post.
The victim of the assault allegedly said, "‘Yeah, so what? Do you have it on camera?"
Two men are wanted for the attack of an Asian man inside the Fulton Street subway station. A witness told the NY Post the Asian man had allegedly attempted to sexually assault a woman prior to the attack.
The videographer called 911.
"Although the video doesn’t show that, he was trying to get away the entire time," the videographer told the Post. "There were other people around. One girl says, ‘I’ll go upstairs and get them.’ She came back down and said ‘They’re coming.’"
When police arrived at the scene, all the suspects and the victim had left. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
