Police in New York have arrested a man they say committed hate crimes against white people in Manhattan, including hitting a 20-year-old woman over the head with a brick.
Todd Lyons, 33, was arrested Friday and charged with hate crime assault and assault after video showed a shirtless man roaming the streets of the city and launching unprovoked attacks on at least four victims.
Footage showed one woman, 20, hit from behind as the walked alone. Police told The New York Post: 'This woman is lucky to be alive — she could have easily been seriously injured.'
Authorities said Lyons called one of his victims a 'f***ing honky' in a hate spree police say started on the evening of August 9.
