Without any reason or warning, a 39-year-old attacked a 76-year-old Chinese woman on the street in San Francisco on Wednesday.

The pensioner grabbed a wooden slat that happened to be within reach and defended herself against the attacker. The 76-year-old beat the man, who was just half his age, ready for hospital. A cell phone video circulating on social media shows how the attacker is being removed by paramedics.
Almost $ 270,000 in donations
The 76-year-old was severely traumatized after the attack and could no longer see anything in one eye, reports her granddaughter to local media. On Online appeal for donations for the 76-year-old’s medical expenses, she was able to raise nearly $ 270,000 in just 13 hours.
The attack on the 76-year-old happened just hours after a right-wing extremist murdered a total of six Asian women in the US state of Georgia. Reports of racist attacks on Asian or Asian-looking people have been mounting in the US for months. The political tensions between the USA and China, which the Trump administration has already blamed for the coronavirus pandemic, are fueling resentment towards Asians and especially the Chinese.
