The woman was walking down Bayard Street shortly after 6 p.m. ET when a man in the opposite direction randomly punched her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground, according to police and surveillance video that New York state Assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou posted on Twitter.

The footage showed several people on the street approach the woman, who appears unconscious on the ground, as the man walks away.

The woman was taken to New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where she was stable, police said. The identity of the victim was not immediately released by authorities.

Wright was arrested a block away from the attack and taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychological evaluation.

I did not see her do anything to him prior to his left swing. In fact, he seemed to veer into her path to be within reach of his punch.

I thought it was an off camera witness asking "what did you do that for"?

Cars With Racial Slurs Drive Through Tinley Park Causing Concern

TINLEY PARK, IL — A number of vehicles have been spotted driving through areas of Tinley Park, Orland Park and Orland Hills with derogatory and racist language written in duct tape.

The statements on the cars read, "Tinley Parkkk, we Lynch [racial slur]," "Makkke [racial slur] Afraid Again" and "Tinley Parkkk, White Only."

According to Tinley Park Police Chief Matthew Walsh, the people driving the cars are Black, trying to spread a message that, to him, is unclear. The chief said the state's attorney's office informed the village that this act is protected by the First Amendment. The state's attorney said if a citizen found it offensive enough to file a formal complaint, the people involved could be charged with disorderly conduct.

"We're aware of it," Walsh told Patch. "I don't know why they would put words like that on a vehicle. I don't understand it."

Editor's note: After publishing, one of the men involved told Patch the demonstration is a protest against the Tinley Park Police Department.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter was midway through his speech at a Memorial Day ceremony in an Ohio cemetery when he started discussing the role that freed Black enslaved people played in an early event honoring Civil War dead.

Suddenly, his microphone cut off. Kemter, 77, tapped it a few times before yelling for assistance, video of the Monday event shows.

“I assumed it was a technical glitch,” Kemter, who carried on with his speech off-mic while he waited for the audio to return, told The Washington Post.

But the disruption was no glitch. One of the event’s organizers later admitted the audio had been deliberately turned down, telling the Akron Beacon Journal that Kemter’s discussion of Black history “was not relevant to our program for the day.”
