Powell, who is black, allegedly attacked Ma from behind in an unprovoked attack and repeatedly stomped on him as he lay on the ground, WABC <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/10552566\/?ex_cid=TA_WABC_TW&#038;taid=6088baa208a6390001b22a75&#038;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&#038;utm_medium=trueAnthem&#038;utm_source=twitter\">reported<\/a>. Ma\u2019s family says he is still in a coma following the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Powell was taken into custody after tips from the community poured in. Powell was reportedly seen at a shelter near where the attack happened. He was arrested and charged, with the charges upgraded Tuesday \u201cto attempted murder and assault as a hate crime,\u201d WABC reported.<\/p>\n<p>Ma immigrated to New York\u2019s Chinatown two years ago, but moved to Harlem after the family\u2019s apartment burned down. Ma then lost his job during the coronavirus pandemic when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) shut down the city, forcing businesses to close and people to lose their jobs. Ma\u2019s Niece told WABC that he collected cans to help support his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are completely in shock \u2014 terrified and scared and frustrated,\u201d she said of the attack. \u201cMy uncle is a very quiet person, very hardworking. He\u2019s not the person to cause trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet added that New York Police Department statistics show hate crimes against Asians are up 45%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowell has a lengthy and violent arrest record. In January 25, 1998, he kidnapped 23-year-old woman from an apartment on Staten Island, took her to another location and sexually assaulted her. He was charged with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, sexual misconduct, sex assault,\u201d WABC reported. \u201cHe was then arrested for fare evasion on the subway in July 2002, November 2003, December 2003, twice in January 2004, April 2004, November 2004, and December 2004. In February of 2006, he was arrested for assault at the Port Authority Bus Terminal twice, and in July of 2006, Powell assaulted a fellow inmate with a food tray at Rikers Island and then punched the victim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powell told reporters that he didn\u2019t attack Ma but that Ma attacked him.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet reported that a community event was held to support the family, but while Ma\u2019s wife attended, she did not speak. Community activist Karlin Chan spoke for the family instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ma family understands this is the act of a single depraved individual and has nothing to do with the community of Harlem at large,\u201d Chan said, according to WABC.<\/p>\n<p>Assemblyman Ron Kim also spoke at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs New Yorkers, we shouldn\u2019t tolerate it,\u201d he said. \u201cWe come here to say, stop targeting, scapegoating and killing Asian Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and pundits at major media outlets, who spent the past month decrying hate crimes against Asian-Americans following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/georgia-mass-shooting-kills-8-media-races-to-speculate-on-motive\">a shooting<\/a> at an Atlanta spa that killed six Asian women and two others, have been silent on attacks against Asians that involve non-white suspects. Because the Atlanta shooter was white, these commentators pushed the theory that attacks against Asians are the result of \u201cwhite supremacy,\u201d so they have to ignore any attack that isn\u2019t caused by a white person.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
