Update: The suspect has been identified and arrested, according to The Associated Press. He is reportedly a parolee convicted of killing his mother more than a decade ago.

An unidentified suspect stomped on a 65-year-old Asian woman Monday as she was reportedly walking to church in New York City.

Surveillance video captured the incident, which happened around 11:40 a.m. on 43rd Street, according to ABC 7 NY reporter CeFaan Kim.

Video shows the woman walking down the street before a man walks up to her and kicks her in the chest. The woman is then repeatedly kicked in the head as a security guard standing feet away looks on but apparently fails to take immediate action. The assailant told the woman “f*** you, you don’t belong here,” according to Kim’s tweet.

The victim was taken to the hospital with swelling in the face and pain in her leg, according to Kim.

The Brodsky Organization, which owns apartments and condominiums in the city, issued a statement condemning the attack and said the staff “who witnessed the attack have been suspended pending an investigation in conjunction with their union.”

New York City Council’s speaker Corey Johnson called the attack “absolutely vile.” (RELATED: Sellers Report An Uptick In Self-Defense Firearm Purchases In Asian Communities)

The NYPD Hate Crimes division confirmed the attack in a tweet and was asking the public for help in identifying the suspect.

Violence against Asian Americans has risen since the beginning of the pandemic, according to USA Today.

Between Jan. 1 and Nov. 29, 2020, there were 24 reports of anti-Asian hate crimes in New York City alone, according to police data. That number is eight times higher than the number of reported hate crimes during the same period in 2019, according to The Asian American Bar Association of New York.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
