Deaf woman, 59, on her way to church falls onto NYC subway tracks after being 'hit in the head' by homeless man who was arrested four days earlier for 'sucker-punching' another woman

A deaf woman fell onto the subway tracks in New York City after she was hit in the head by a homeless man who had been arrested for sucker-punching another victim just four days earlier.

Xing Zhou, 59, was on her way to church when a man hit her in the head at 10am Sunday morning at Manhattan's Union Square subway station. She lost her balance during the attack and fell onto the tracks.

Two bystanders helped Zhou off the tracks and waited with her until help arrived. She was taken to the hospital and given medication for her pain.

Police later arrested Vladimir Pierre, 41, who is accused of sucker punching another woman four days ago at a different subway station.

With the help of a sign language interpreter, Zhou shared her harrowing experience with Eyewitness News.

Zhou said she suffered a knock to her head as a result from the fall, in addition to hurting her leg and her back.

The suspect hit Zhou so hard that she said her glasses fell off.

The alleged attacker, who is described as homeless, was only given a desk appearance ticket and released shortly after.

'That's a problem,' Zhou told reporters, 'He's injuring people and causing pain. My head still hurts. I'm still in pain.'

Zhou said she's unsure if Pierre directed any anti-Asian slurs at her on account of her not being able to hear.

Despite the terrifying and random attack, Zhou said she will continue riding the subway.

If I ever used a subway I wouldn’t get near the tracks until the train had arrive, stopped and opened the doors.

Oh good God. They have to pull the “anti-Asian” card. I’m just shocked it wasn’t in the headline.

Then again, don’t emphasize it if perp is black.

I’m a bit curious as to why this guy was described as “homeless”. What difference does that make, unless the author is searching for an excuse for the attack.

A horror story. No one should ever have this happen.

And yet, even so... "Two bystanders helped Zhou off the tracks and waited with her until help arrived. She was taken to the hospital and given medication for her pain."

What's that definition of insanity...?

“The alleged attacker, who is described as homeless, was only given a desk appearance ticket and released shortly after.”


So criminals who violently assault strangers are only given a ‘desk appearance ticket’ and released without spending a minute in jail. Not to say that this is yet another example of a black on Asian crime. And what a brave guy Vladimir Pierre is, picking on women.

good old Vlad.....

until the elites are sucker punched and fall onto subway tracks, nothing will change....

violent crime does not affect them....not the judges or the mayor or the city council or the attorneys...

until it does.
