A renowned Japanese jazz pianist has been robbed of his ability to play his instrument after he was attacked by eight teenagers at a train station in New York City.
Tadataka Unno, 40, who may never be able to play the piano again, was exiting the West 135th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue subway station in Harlem on September 27 when the suspects blocked the turnstiles and confronted him.
The musician attempted to walk around the group, but was yelled at and pushed from behind. He was eventually punched in the face and body.
According to Unno's wife, racial slurs were also yelled during the attack.
But police say no anti-Asian remarks were indicated in the report but the investigation is ongoing.
Unno was rushed to Harlem Hospital where he underwent surgery on his shoulder.
'I had no idea why I was shoved. One of them pointed at me and said, This guy just pushed me' to her peers. This was not true,' Unno told CNN.
'One of the others said, "She's pregnant," as if to imply that I had just attacked a pregnant person.'
Unno said: 'I might never play again.
'The trauma, both physical and mental, are severe, and I have no timeline for a full recovery.'
Unno said he is completely unable to use his right arm following the attack.
Jennings, an instructor at the Julliard School, and a good friend of Unno's says he is now suffering mentally and physically and is unable to play his instrument, which is his sole income.
'He's going to need some type of cushion to not worry about it, the medical bills, and he's going to need therapy,' Jennings told CBS Local.

At some point, 2020’s Bernie Goetz is going to show up & take matters into his own hands.
Shame. Never go to Harlem. Don’t believe the hype about the Harlem renaissance

Yeah, I caught that too. Whenever the description of the suspects is purposefully vague you have to make certain assumptions.

I can pretty much assume they weren’t from the Hamptons..............
One of the most despicable aspects of “critical race baloney” is that it excuses blacks from charges of racism because they have no power or sumthin’. I think it’s the most important feature of CRT.
Should be easy enough to outrun most of those guys.
“I can pretty much assume they weren’t from the Hamptons..............”
People from the Hamptons harm this country more than street thugs.
