Woman, 25, arrested in string of anti-Asian attacks in Queens: police
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police have arrested a woman in attacks on four people of Asian descent in Queens since March.
Marcia Bell, 25, is facing charges of assault as a hate crime, according to WABC.
Police said the first incident was on March 23, when a 23-year-old man was punched in the face in Pomonok.
That was followed by an attack on a 34-year-old woman, who was punched in the head at a grocery store in the neighborhood on June 16, police said.
Bell also assaulted a 73-year-old woman in a parking lot a few blocks away on July 11, police said.
On Wednesday, she allegedly struck a 75-year-old woman in the head with an object as the victim collected cans in Pomonok.
Bell was arrested at a grocery store following a tip from an employer, according to the report, which says she has five prior arrests, including one in which she was charged with a hate crime.
