Two Elderly Asian Women Stabbed In San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Two elderly Asian women were stabbed without warning as they waited for a bus in downtown San Francisco in the latest in a series of attacks against Asian Americans nationwide since the start of the pandemic. Police said in a statement that they have not ruled out the possibility that Tuesday’s attack was a hate crime, but officers were still gathering details. There have also been numerous attacks in New York City, where a police hate crime task force is investigating an assault of a 31-year-old Asian woman who was struck by a woman with a hammer while walking in Manhattan.
