On Thursday, Ng spoke from New York\u2019s Chinatown. He said Asian Americans have a tendency to not report attacks out of fear of the police.<\/p>\n<p>Ng reminded residents that if they see an attack happen to call 911 and to help officers by getting a suspect\u2019s description or a license plate number. The NYPD said it has increased patrols in Asian neighborhoods in the wake of the attacks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2393420\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2393420\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2393420 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-413.jpeg\" alt=\"NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 25: Deputy inspector Tommy Ng speaks during a press conference at the NYPD headquarters in Manhattan on March 25, 2021 in New York City.
