I was walking to the store this evening and a man walking towards me physically attacked me (hit and kicked me). I’m still processing it, but I think he didn’t like that I was wearing a mask. I guess anti-Asian hate is in France too.

Thanks everyone for the support
. As many have surmised, it’s not the physical injury but the mental scar that’s the worst part. I keep being thankful that he didn’t use a weapon, but also wonder if there’s something I could have done to avoid it and whether it’ll happen again.6 replies 2 retweets 66 likesShow this thread -
At your encouragement, I went to the police station and filed a report. They said they would look at the video from the ATM that’s right there. It’s unlikely they’ll ever catch the guy but at least it’s on record.pic.twitter.com/uPLmXnI8Zy

I'm glad you went to the authorities. Don't ever loose your voice. You did nothing wrong and there was nothing you could do to avoid this crime happening to you. Also, you're most likely not the only person this man has attacked. Perhaps he will be caught.
