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.
