There’s fear on the Lower East Side as police investigate an apparent series of hate crimes.
Five women were attacked, police say, and all the victims are Asian, but that’s not the only coincidence.
Police say the five assaults on Asian women took place over the last ten days within a nine-block area right near the Williamsburg Bridge.
‘I’m horrified, scared,’ neighbor Tiffany Tan said. ‘As long as you don’t go near them, it’s okay.’
Police released a videotape showing five people they seek for questioning in connection with the assaults.
