‘Tonight, it’s my turn’: Chinese PhD student attacked by 5 men near University of Wisconsin-Madison
A Chinese doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was reportedly assaulted by five young men near the campus, triggering a student protest against anti-Asian hate and violence.
The student, 26, shared his account of the incident on Weibo, which was then also translated and posted on the r/UWMadison subreddit.
The student said he was walking home along University Avenue on Tuesday night when a group of men surrounded him, struck him in the face, shoved him to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked him.
His attackers fled after he screamed for help twice, the victim said. The assault left him with a bleeding ear and multiple “spots” on his head.
The victim said he kept calling for help. A group of witnesses who were partying across the street helped him in the aftermath, followed by what appeared to be a medical student who checked his injuries and made sure he was conscious.
A Chinese male student was beaten by FIVE random young men yesterday on University Ave. close to @UWMadison campus. We feel extremely disappointed about what happened to him. And this isn't the first Asian hate crime at UW-Madison. @uwchancellor #StopAsianHate #HateCrime pic.twitter.co m/G6o0RNhlDo
The entire attack lasted no more than 40 seconds, the victim said. He described his assailants as both white and Black men who were all “very well dressed” and “very fit.”
