A woman is facing charges for a two-day string of attacks in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx that is being investigated as a possible hate crime, according to police and reports.
A woman is accused of assaulting 11 people, attacking many with pepper spray, on Friday and Saturday, in a series of anti-white crimes, the New York Post reported. Heard was arrested on Saturday afternoon near East 187th Street and Crotona Avenue in the Bronx, according to the report.
