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.

The 押し屋 were only at a select few stations in the Tokyo area even when I worked there during the crowded days of 1988-1994. Since then, Tokyo has built more subways and work from home has boomed.

My daughter works in downtown Tokyo and can work from home or walk to work in about 15 minutes. She is lucky as she is in management for an international company. However, even those who take the subways to work have a far less crowded ride than I did back in the day. Further, the authorities do not have high tolerance for feral behavior either.

The last guy who tried that was given a fair trial and a proper hanging.

“a black dude named Vladimir who would have thunk it”

His street name should be “Vlad the Assailer”.

The American media is too racist to report this so we have to rely on foreign press.

From what I’ve seen, the Haitians tend to use a lot of what we would call old fashioned, formal sounding names.
i.e. Clarence, Sebastian, Nathanial.
This, in addition to French surnames.

RE: What is a dsk appearance ticket?

“In New York City, a desk appearance ticket is an order to appear in the New York City Criminal Court for an arraignment. A person who receives a DAT has been arrested.” (Wikipedia)

My satirical guess, the liberal judge in De Blasio’s workers’ paradise just looks down from the bench and says “Now you get outta here you rascal and I won’t want to see you getting into any kind of trouble again, y’hear?”

Person is supposed to show up later to appear to face consequences. Unless he skips town. Goes by another name or spelling. Watches news items say “the witness did not appear after all and the evidence was then lost by mishandling. No further appearance required.”

They should have tied him to the train tracks.

I was lucky to spend a few days in Mayor Koch’s City, in 1985. It was clean and everyone was friendly. I rode and walked all over. Had a shot of whiskey and coke in a bar on the 44th Floor of the one of the Towers. Had another shot in a bar a few floors up in Trump Tower. It was all a great time.

Now, it’s a bad place. Muy malo. DeBlasio is muy malo.
