Moment women break Asian beauty shop owner's nose 'while hurling racist slurs'

preview

A pair of women were filmed breaking an Asian shop owner’s nose while allegedly hurling racist slurs at her. Jung Kim was thrown to the floor, punched and kicked after asking five customers to leave her store in Houston, Texas, after they knocked over wig displays.The women ignored her, and deliberately knocked over other displays. They then began beating Kim, with the victim suffering a broken nose that now requires surgery. Her son Sung Jun Lee said afterwards: ‘They started saying something like some racial words like, “Asian people shouldn’t be in the black market.”‘We’re stealing their money.’ Lee said Kim was branded ‘You little Asian girl’ by her attackers, and said she has been left badly-shaken by the attack. He added: ‘We never thought this would happen to us.’ A photograph snapped in the aftermath showed Kim with blood dripping down her face.Keaundra Young and Daquiesha Williams were arrested afterwards on suspicion of attacking Lee. Young faces an aggravated assault charge, while Williams has been charged with assault, reported.Racist attacks on Asian people have rocketed in the US since the outbreak of Covid. Former President Donald Trump was accused of stoking hate after repeatedly referring to Covid as the ‘China virus.’And last week eight people were killed – six of them Asian women – at three shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors. Alleged gunman Robert Long, 21, is said to have blamed the shootings on his sex addiction, and claimed he targeted the business to ‘eliminate temptation.’Investigators say there is currently no evidence that those shootings were motivated by racism, but campaigners say it shows further evidence of the dangers Asian Americans increasingly face.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at&nbsp;For more stories like this,&nbsp;Not convinced?Get us in your feed

The Metro is the United Kingdom's highest-circulation, print newspaper. It is published in tabloid format by DMG Media. The free newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays and the period between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day inclusive) mornings on trains and buses, and at railway/Underground stations, airports and hospitals across selected urban areas of England, Wales and Scotland. Copies are also handed out to pedestrians. Metro is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust plc (DMGT), part of the same media group as the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, but in some areas Metro operates as a franchise with a local newspaper publisher, rather than as a wholly owned concern.
