15-year-old arrested for attack on Asian couple caught on video
A 15-year-old has been arrested for allegedly assaulting an Asian couple in an attack caught on video in Washington state. The Tacoma Police Department announced Friday that a male teen was arrested and charged with second-degree assault in connection to the attack on a Korean-American couple on Nov. 19, 2020.
The suspect was 14 at the time, according to local ABC affiliate KOMO.
Video of the attack, where the teen appears to punch an Asian man, 56, repeatedly as the woman with him looks frantic, circulated on social media recently.
Police said they received a report about the video of the attack on March 31 and asked the public for information regarding the incident. On Thursday a family member of the victims in the video contacted police, officials said. Investigators ... realized he was scheduled to show up on Friday for a detention review hearing for an unrelated robbery charge and officers took him into custody at the courthouse.
The suspect has not been named because he is a minor.
