A man from Yonkers was arrested and charged with two felony hate crimes after a brutal attack on a 67-year-old Asian woman, police said Monday.
Tammel Esco, 42, was arrested and charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, a Class B Violent Felony in the New York State Penal Law, and assault as a hate crime, a Class D Violent Felony on Friday.
The horrific assault was captured in a surveillance video where the helpless elderly woman fell to the ground after being stomped and punched more than 125 times while being called an “Asian bitch.”

On Friday, March 11th, 2022, at approximately 6:11 PM, members of the Yonkers Police Department responded to an apartment building in the confines of the 3rd Precinct on several reports of a dispute; information was given that a woman was bleeding at scene and the suspect was in front of the location.
Upon arrival officers located the victim, an elderly female, in the vestibule of the building with severe facial injuries; she was transported to a local area trauma center. The suspect was located outside the building and placed into custody without incident.
Investigation yielded that the victim, a 67-year-old resident of the City of Yonkers, was returning home and saw the suspect in front of the building. As she walked past him, he called her an “Asian bitch;” the victim is of Asian descent.
Ignoring his comment, the victim entered the vestibule of the building and was attempting to open the second door to enter the lobby when, without warning, the suspect approached from behind and punched her in the head, knocking her to the floor; he then stood over her and proceeded to punch her in the head and face more than 125 times with alternating fist strikes before foot-stomping her seven times and spitting on her.
As a result of the beating, the victim suffered multiple contusions and lacerations to her head and face, facial bone fractures, and bleeding on the brain; she is currently listed in stable condition and is recovering in the hospital. The incident was captured on surveillance video.
Mayor Mike Spano stated, “Hate crimes are beyond intolerable in our city. I applaud our Yonkers Police for swiftly apprehending this violent criminal and removing him from our streets. I expect the suspect to be charged to the fullest extent of the law for his heinous actions. I continue to keep the victim and her family in our thoughts and prayers.”
Commissioner John J. Mueller stated, “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. This defendant must be held to the maximum punishment allowed by law to send a clear message that hateful, violent behavior will not be tolerated in our communities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family, that she may make a full recovery.”
ESCO was arraigned in Yonkers Criminal Court on March 12th and remanded into the custody of the Westchester County Jail; his next court date is scheduled for March 25th. The case is being prosecuted by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office. Additional information may be released as it becomes available.

But, but, but... white supremacy!
I didn’t know blacks could be charged with any crime against whites, Asians or anyone. Much less a hate crime. I would think that removing all the mean old white men statues around the country would’ve solved all of their grievances. No?
Visualize dead hood rats.
Blacks cannot be racist. It’s settled science.
Was he released on his own recognizance?
Yes, after a previous incident in which he pushed a woman through a plate glass window.
Black Lives Matter.
A few years back I watched an interview in NYC in which a black woman was complaining Chinese were filling a brand-new gubmint housing project while she’d lived in the same crumbling one for decades; blacks have no misconception as to what is happening here.
And “disproportionate number of arrests”
Headline: “This is what it takes for a black man to be charged with a hate crime”... There, I fixed it.
Not in proportion to the number of crimes being committed.
Is there any race American blacks DON’T have a grievance with?
No... Not even their own...
Drag perp behind a truck. Case closed.
More evidence that women can’t acheive anything unless they are a man.
Lia Thomas agrees.
White liberal women feel bad for him.
Will the DOJ weigh in?
I don’t think so; plenty of tension between them and African or Caribbean blacks as well.
