A man from Yonkers is charged with a hate crime after police say he violently attacked a 67-year-old Asian woman as she entered an apartment building.
Tammel Esco, 42, was arrested Friday and charged with attempted murder as a hate crime and assault as a hate crime -- both violent felonies.
Esco allegedly then continued to punch the victim more than 100 times, stomped on her upper body seven times and then spit on her.Neighbors who spoke to Eyewitness News said the victim bothers nobody."This is one of the most appalling attacks I have ever seen; to beat a helpless woman is despicable and targeting her because of her race makes it more so," he said.
