AAPI community protests SF DA's decision to release man who allegedly attacked elderly man in walker
A man who allegedly attacked an 84-year-old in San Francisco earlier this year was released, prompting local residents in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community to rally over the decision, ABC7 reports.
Several AAPI community groups, including Asians Are Strong and Stop AAPI Hate, rallied on Thursday. Additionally, career prosecutor Nancy Tung and the United Peace Collaborative voiced their frustrations.
In March of 2021, Rong Xin Liao was kicked out of his seated walker in the Tenderloin by 24-year old Eric Ramos Hernandez. Video of the attack was circulated in social media at the time when attacks on AAPI individuals were frequent.
The San Francisco District Attorney's Office charged Ramos-Hernandez with a trespassing misdemeanor, not a felony. He will be medically reevaluated and then a decision will be made.
