The culprit begged social media users to not report him to the police

A group of teens filmed themselves kicking a random Asian woman in the head in Minnesota

In the video, which has been shared widely on social media, the teen group surround the woman at a bus stop.

The person filming is heard saying “you won’t”, seemingly egging on the teen in the red hoodie. The red hoodie teen then jumps up and kicks the woman in the face.

As the woman falls backwards, the person filming says “crazy boys”. The group then run away laughing.

Facebook user Zong Winchester, who posted the video, stated that the culprit has been identified and the incident has been reported to the police.

“I messaged the kid,” Winchester wrote. “He is scared for his safety and begged me to not report him to the cops. Also begged to take down the post.”

Although the culprit’s name was not shared, images of him as well as the cameraman were shared on Instagram.

In related news, the NYPD has issued its latest crime report, showing that crimes against Asian Americans were on the rise in April.
