A New York City black man was arrested for allegedly attacking a 61-year-old Chinese man, pushing him to the ground and kicking him in the head. The cowardly attack took place on Friday night in Harlem and it left Yao Pan Ma in a coma.

Jarrod Powell, a 49-year-old scumbag was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with two counts of felony assault.
Jarrod Powell, a 49-year-old scumbag was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with two counts of felony assault.
Ma was collecting cans in East Harlem when Powell allegedly pushed him to the ground and kicked him in the head. As of Tuesday, Ma is still in a coma and Powell still sucks as a human being.
Video of the incident shows the coward stomping and kicking Ma in the head at least six times while he was on the ground.
The incident is being investigated by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force, but it is unclear if Ma was targeted because of his race or whether Powell will face a hate crime charge. Anti-Asian attacks have become common of late and the significant majority of those doing the attacking have been black men.
Ma’s wife said that her husband was just collecting deposit bottles and cans to help pay the rent and bills for his family.
"He is innocent. He did not do anything wrong," she said, according to a GoFundMe that has raised more than $400,000 for Ma's family, "He is a very kind person. He is quiet. He doesn’t cause trouble."
Powell claimed, while being taken into Manhattan criminal court Tuesday, that he attacked Ma because he was maced.
"I was maced. I was maced and attacked," Powell claimed, according to the New York Post. "Him and a couple of other Asians maced me — robbed me."

Yeah, a 61-year-old man and his Asian can collecting cohorts maced him and took his money. Too bad it wasn't captured on video.
In a different incident, a 38-year-old parolee previously convicted for murdering his mother was also arrested last month for allegedly pushing a Filipino American woman to the ground and stomping on her near Times Square. Yet another coward who tends to go after women, including his own mother.
A California State University, San Bernardino study found that while hate crimes overall declined 7% last year, Asian American hate crimes skyrocketed 149%!
Ma's 20-year-old-niece told the New York Post that the surge in crime and the attack on her uncle makes her afraid to venture out in the night.
"I’m scared and paranoid. I don’t feel safe," she said. "I’m afraid to walk on the streets when it’s dark. I go home before it gets dark. There are so many of these incidents happening. Now it’s close to home … It is so wrong that this happens and it’s not just one time."
The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill 94-1 last Thursday that would ramp up law enforcement's ability to protect Asian Americans against hate crimes. The House is expected to take up similar legislation in the coming weeks.

Now all that's left to do is for Harvard University to stop discriminating against Asian Americans in their admission policy.
And let's pray for Ma's recovery.
