NYPD Arrested a Man for a Violent Attack Against a 61-Year-Old Asian Man
A man has been arrested in connection with the case of a 61-year-old Asian man who was attacked last week in New York, police said.
Yao Pan Ma was collecting cans when he was approached from behind on an East Harlem corner Friday, struck in the back and, after he fell to the ground, kicked in the head multiple times, according to police and a verified GoFundMe account.
Jarrod Powell, 49, was detained early Tuesday morning in connection with the attack and the NYPD recommends that he faces attempted murder, and two hate crime assault charges.
