Several Queens lawmakers were joined by Asian American community leaders for a rally in Manhattan on Friday, Feb. 12 to support a South Korean diplomat who was brutally assaulted in front of the United Nations building last week.
The victim, a 53-year-old man, was punched in the face during an unprovoked attack on Wednesday, Feb. 9 while walking with a friend, according to lawmakers. No words were exchanged before the attack and the victim, who suffered a broken nose, even showed his South Korean diplomatic ID before the suspect fled.
