Attacked for wearing a mask/anti asian
I'm really shaken for the last day
Got back to my flat after
being punched multiple times in the face near Fort street last night.
A drunk homeless dude came up to me, I was going out wearing my N95 saying "What are you wearing you g
k", "Dirty Ch*, Go back to china", pushed me over, broke my mask off and punched me multiple times in the face.
I managed to run away (he was bearded, maori dude in a hoodie, biggish) and call the cops. They arrived but the dude had left. Took a statement, and offered to take me to the hospital. I had a scan that showed my eye socket was broken but didn't need surgery. The cops said because it was dark they would unlikely to be able to find him.
I just don't know what to do, I don't feel safe on the streets anymore. I just want to stay at home and hide forever. I'm also angry the cops didn't put any posters or statements out about what I thought was a race attack or looking for the person.
I'm private and don't want my name out there but I'm wondering if I should go to the media to try and get some action/police to get off their ass and try and find the dude.
Anyone have any ideas?
Does anyone know who would care about this kind of attack?
I'm Singaporean Chinese
