The security cam footage shows the woman being kicked and pushed to the ground and then being kicked in the head thrice by a man. The security guard of the building appears to observe the incident without lending women help. He closes the door instead of lending the woman the assistance.
The woman has been hospitalized and is being treated for her swollen face and pain in the leg.
CeeFaan Kim, an ABC7NY reporter, reports that the aggressor said “f*** you, you don’t belong here,” to the woman.
