Statement by Senator Hoylman on the Alleged Hate Crime at the West 4th Street Subway Station

My thoughts go out to the couple who were brutally attacked in the West Village this past weekend. There is no place for such senseless hate crimes in our city. It is a painful reminder of how much work we have yet to do that this attack took place just steps from where Mark Carson was murdered last spring. Thank you to the NYPD for investigating this matter as a hate crime and working to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
