Just call her Subway Svetlana. A Russian immigrant (she's a lawyer!!!) assaults Asian woman on subway. After other passengers protect the victim, a Dominican-American man makes citizen's arrest. Good show, New Yorkers (although you could have stepped in a little earlier.)
The video is appalling.
New York (CNN)A Brooklyn woman whose racist, profanity-laced tirade on the New York subway was captured on video this week has been charged with felony assault after she struck a fellow passenger, authorities said.
The dispute between Anna Lushchinskaya, a 40-year-old white woman, and the 24-year-old passenger, a woman of Asian descent, began after Lushchinskaya bumped into the woman early Tuesday, the New York Police Department told CNN.
Lushchinskaya yelled profanities at the victim on the northbound D train, hitting her with an umbrella and keys, the NYPD said. On video captured by witnesses, Lushchinskaya can be heard calling the woman a racial slur.
Lushchinskaya was apprehended at the 36th Street Station and arrested, the NYPD said.
