Shocking video shows three teens harassing an Asian family of tourists aboard a New York City subway train before attacking one visitor and a Good Samaritan who was trying to film the encounter.
Now, the NYPD is seeking the identities of the suspects - who were all black - in an assault being investigated as a hate crime.
Sue Young, 51, and her family, were visiting the Big Apple from Nevada, when they were approached by three teens who were laughing and pointing at them on Thursday night around 8pm while they were riding the F train at the West 4th Street station.
At first, Young was trying to be a good sport, but realized the trio was up to no good. Young said it was 'insult, after insult, after insult,' she told CBS New York.
Her husband asked them to stop, causing one of the suspects to pull Young to ground by her hair, where she was repeatedly punched in her head before the suspects fled.
Passenger Joanna Lin, a witness of the disturbing exchange, took out her cell phone and started recording the travesty before she was sucker-punched by the hoodlums.
Police are looking for the people involved and released an image of one of the teens seen in the video.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). You can also submit a tip via their website or via DM on Twitter, @NYPDTips. All calls are kept confidential.
Lin wrote that she 'knew it was going to get bad,' and took out her phone to document the incident.
'One of them saw me and tried to block the view (didn't work).' Lin wrote.

Anyone...black,white or Asian...who’s outside after dark in NYC is a fool.
5 will get you 10 their names end with ether eka or isha
“Sue Young, 51, and her family, were visiting the Big Apple from Nevada.”
Either they don’t they have the internet in Nevada or these people can’t read English.
Wonder why they're so quiet along with bammy, sharpton, jesse, crupto, etc....not a peep.
Is there a video with English subtitles?
No need to look PING
Subway riders need to arm themselves so they can do a Bernard Goetz on the perps.
“the suspects - who were all black”
From a foreign newspaper. Let’s see an American newspaper do that.
Just cut the “hate crimes” shit out! It’s all hate for Gods sake. Have we lost our freaking minds?
“Who were all black”
Redundant. They used the word Teenz right in the headline.
That was my first thought!
Anyone outside in daylight in NYC is also a fool.
I make frequent day trips to NYC...in by 11AM...out by 6PM. Other than encountering the occasional screaming schizophrenic on the subway I’ve never had a problem.
Don't get me wrong - I've spent a lot of time and money in NYC in my lifetime, but I very rarely go there anymore (last time was November). Not worth the effort, the expense, or the risk.
