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.

Even at my age, I would wring his neck like a chicken and toss him on the hot rail. Plea guilty to littering.

Asians come here, work hard, raise families, value education, and are successful.

Ghetto scum despise education, marriage, family, and morality.

So they hate Asians. Pure jealousy.

In any truly civilized country thugs who do this sort of thing would be summarily hanged within several days of their apprehension. And no motive or psychological mitigating fact would be admissible at trial.

And how many prior felonies did poor Mr. Pierre have? Of course this was no hate crime from the poor oppressed Mr. Pierre, whose mind has been colonized by white supremacy. FREE VLADIMIR PIERRE!!!

The nut case bum would have never gotten a free get out of jail card if he hit a judge. Guaranteed.

If you have a job where you have to be there at 9, you don’t have much of a choice: walk, spend your whole salary on cabs, or take a two-hour ride on a bus sitting next to the same person.

The actual prerequisites for most homeless facilities is that the person must be mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.

Yes, Kendra’s Law. What most people don’t remember is that a middle-aged Chinese woman was pushed onto the tracks and they couldn’t get the bill through. They needed Kendra.

He was last seen in front of St. Patrick’s on Easter Sunday dressed as a pea pod. (He was a vegetarian, or become one.)

the [Tokyo] authorities do not have high tolerance for feral behavior either.

But isn't Japan a more or less monoethnic nation? I read that they don't admit many non-Japanese immigrants.

I'm not blaming our criminal group, necessarily. I'm blaming the international multiculturalism project. Studies have shown it increases estrangement and hostilities, not decreases them. Opposite of the claims on introduction of that utopian idea.
