Update: Elderly Asian Woman Talks About Terrifying Daylight Assault; Fighting Off Her Attacker

An elderly woman being attacked on Market St. in San Francisco Wednesday – the latest victim in a wave of attacks on Asians in the Bay Area – spoke to KPIX 5 about turning the tables on her assailant, leaving him with injuries that required a trip to the hospital.

From her senior retirement home in San Francisco, Xiao Zhen Xie candidly talked about the attack and her injuries, with her daughter Dong-Mei Li helping to translate.

“Very traumatized, very scared and this eye is still bleeding,” Li told KPIX 5. “The right eye still cannot see anything and still bleeding and we have something to absorb the bleeding.”

Surrounded by her family, the 76-year-old who has resided in San Francisco for 26 years said she was quite shaken up and that the attack was completely unprovoked. Her immediate instinct was to fight back.

Xiao Zhen Xie says she was just waiting at the traffic light and then the suspect punched her by her left eye.

Immediately, her instincts kicked in to defend herself. While she suffered injuries and required medical attention, it was her attacker that ended up on the stretcher. Li says, “She found the stick around the area and fought back.”

Li said her mother cannot see at all out of her left eye and hasn’t been able to eat. The hope is time will heal the physical and emotional wounds but this incident is one that has scarred her for life.

John Chen, Xie’s grandson told KPIX 5, “As you can see she is extremely terrified. She’s terrified to even step out.”

Xie’s family told KPIX 5 that they have set up a GoFundMe account to help with medical expenses.

Good for her! Can't envision all that guy's hair under a MAGA hat.

First non-black guy to assault or murder an asian on the west coast (excepting of course this week's murders back east.)

1000 attacks on asians by blacks and the media plays up one or two white men as if whites attacking asians is a problem in this country . these demons will not stop until there is a real bloody war because of their propaganda.

The media is now broadcasting nationally every instance of assault on an “Asian.” (”the latest victim in a wave of attacks on Asians”)

This is so as to blame it all on Trump and “Chinese virus.” And the media is guaranteed to always blame it on a Whitey, or if it isn’t a Whitey, to omit the race and make you think it’s a Whitey.

The reality is certain members of society have always attacked “Asians.”

ALL Black on White violence is Biden’s Fault.

Because I said so.

No proof required, just like Jen.

This will continue unabated (black on Asian attacks, especially on the elderly) - as long as the California government blames Trump for the attacks - b/c he called the China virus the China virus.

As if THAT is the reason blacks are attacking elderly Asians (it is b/c they are looked upon as weak, vulnerable- and easy prey, and they often carry cash instead of credit cards).

...her daughter Dong-Mei Li helping to translate...the 76-year-old who has resided in San Francisco for 26 years

And couldn't bother to learn English in 26 years.

Someone needs to start giving Asians "The Talk" about blacks.

After you check out the Twitter video be sure to read the comments.

Never let a crisis go to waste. The Stasi and Nazi propagandists would be proud.

Shall we also start highlighting black on white violence, black on Hispanic violence, black on black violence, etc.?

This woman may need to carry a cane for the rest of her life. I mean a very solid cane with one of those heavy metal decorative handles.
