A person violently beats up and punches an Asian male in the head repeatedly in a Manhattan Bound (J) train at Kosciuszko Street Station, chokes him afterwards until he is unconscious. Be on the lookout for this person!

So far, no media has yet to report on the incident, which leaves very little information available outside of what appears on social media to be an African American man overpowering and then severely beating an Asian man.
The incident comes amid a rising number of attacks against Asian Americans and a broader increase in anti-Asian hate in the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic.
