NEW YORK (ANN): As more cases of coronavirus are reported globally, an assault at a New York train station of a woman wearing a face mask is thought to be linked to the virus scare. The assault was captured on camera by a bystander, who claimed that prior to her filming, a man called the woman a “diseased b*tch” before hitting her hard in the head and walking away. The woman was wearing a yellow face mask, sunglasses and a parka. Both the woman and the attacker have yet to be identified by the police as of writing, as per The New York Daily. More and more people have been wearing face masks now in New York due to the 2019-nCoV scare, according to the report.
