A man was repeatedly punched in the face and told to “go back to your country” on a Brooklyn subway platform Wednesday evening, an NYPD official said.

The 27-year-old victim was on the southbound J-train platform at the Crescent Street station at about 5:20 p.m. when a man came up to him and punched him in the nose twice, an NYPD spokesman said. The victim’s nose was broken in the attack. The perpetrator called the victim a “****ing Mexican” and said “Go back to your country.” …

Sounds like the NYPD is playing up the “sanctuary city” angle.

He’s doing it wrong.
Supposed to be a sucker punch.

I try to avoid public transit as much as possible. More than half of the riders are below average.

Seriously, in Brooklyn? Who was the attacker, someone from Puerto Rico?

The J train goes through rather sleazy areas, and is full of lowlifes.

No one does this in L.A. Hmmm.

Article says the "victim" claims the attacker was wearing all grey. Maybe it was John Wick?

I don’t care if the guy is a citizen or an illegal. The perpetrator should spend a long long time in prison.

He didn’t know who this guy was, and as such this was an unmitigated act of racism.

I don’t care about the race of the attacker either, but I sure hope it wasn’t a White guy. Send him up the river without a lifeline.

Demonrats will MAKE news if it doesn’t exist. And if this is real— a big IF— Demonrats will start work immediately to make it double-secret-squirrel-hate-crime illegal to criticize our Brown Brothers.

Maybe the guy just thought the other was a Mexican pinata...and he was being “sensitive” to that. Isn’t being sensitive primary nowadays?

I’ve witnessed demonstrations in which Latinos have yelled, “go back to Europe!”

[Olog-hai]

We’ve only got the word of the NYPD spokesperson right now.

I don’t want to meet the man who can lift up a Brooklyn subway platform and hit you in the nose with it.

Oh, the irony ...
