Random Attacks, Mall and Beach Or Black Crime and Violence. Colin Flaherty reviews and gives commentary on news with headlines "NYPD: Woman Hit In Face With Metal Box In Apparent Hate Crime" and "Woman attacked walking out of gas station, police say" and "Man in custody for sucker punching woman on CTA Red Line, police say" and "Couple shoots 3 people outside DeKalb grocery store, police say" and "1 dead, 22 injured in shooting at New Jersey's Art All Night festival" and "2 Arrested For Fight At Frisco Mall That Injured Teen"

Police are searching for a suspect they say hit another woman in the face with a metal box.

“Boom! Hits this woman, who’s got glasses on, hits her in the face. And she went down,” witness Carol Martin told CBS2’s Dave Carlin.

Martin said she saw the whole thing. She also said another woman had been clipped by the same box, possibly a make-up kit, a few steps earlier. That victim was overheard saying, “watch where you’re going,” causing the suspect to spew a long, loud string of profanity and hate as she kept walking, Carlin reported.

“She was talking, just talking filthy actually,” said Martin.

Police said the suspect then struck the second victim, shouting “take that you white bitch,” followed by “that’s what you get white bitch.”

A violent attack was caught on camera when a man beat a woman to the ground at a Brookhaven gas station Tuesday. Police said the attack was random.

Moments later, as the woman exited the store, Mansaray attacked her, punching her in the face and choking her neck.

Police said he even tried to burn her with his lighter. The woman eventually was able to fight him off.

Police said a 67-year-old woman was riding a northbound train at about 12 p.m. Thursday. She was reading on her Kindle when a man approached and, completely unprovoked, punched her in the face.

The victim's son told ABC7 Eyewitness News that his mother underwent eye surgery, but is now blind in her left eye. She had never met the suspect.
