Rich Midtown man charged with hate crime after he beats Asian victim, screams 'We are white power'
On Monday morning in Midtown, 48-year-old Steven Zatorski ran up to the 30-year-old victim and started kicking him, yelling "You are a fucking immigrant! Go back to your country! What are you doing here?"
He also added "We are white power" as he punched the victim in the face. For good measure, I suppose.
The victim was apparently attempting to deliver an Amazon package when he was attacked. According to authorities, the two didn't know each other and hadn't spoken before Zatorski starting kicking and punching.
The victim suffered bleeding, swelling and pain in his right eye and head, and was treated at the scene.
Zatorski was arrested by a NYPD transit police officer and charged with felony third-degree assault as a hate crime. According to court records, he was being held at Rikers Island on $5,000 bail.
