Rally held at Seth Low Park for 89-year-old woman set on fire
Residents held a rally on Saturday to demand that an attack on an 89-year-old Asian woman be labeled a hate crime.
According to authorities, on July 14 at 6:45 p.m., two men approached the woman near 16th Avenue and 77th Street. One of them slapped her in the face while the other lit her shirt on fire.
Rapper Raymond Yu, known professionally as China Mac, organized the rally, which started at Seth Low Park, Bay Parkway and W. 12th Street, and made its way to the 62nd Precinct.
