Woman arrested after racist tirade on NY subway

[mainer]

Just call her Subway Svetlana. A Russian immigrant (she's a lawyer!!!) assaults Asian woman on subway. After other passengers protect the victim, a Dominican-American man makes citizen's arrest. Good show, New Yorkers (although you could have stepped in a little earlier.)

The video is appalling.

New York (CNN)A Brooklyn woman whose racist, profanity-laced tirade on the New York subway was captured on video this week has been charged with felony assault after she struck a fellow passenger, authorities said.

The dispute between Anna Lushchinskaya, a 40-year-old white woman, and the 24-year-old passenger, a woman of Asian descent, began after Lushchinskaya bumped into the woman early Tuesday, the New York Police Department told CNN.
Lushchinskaya yelled profanities at the victim on the northbound D train, hitting her with an umbrella and keys, the NYPD said. On video captured by witnesses, Lushchinskaya can be heard calling the woman a racial slur.
Lushchinskaya was apprehended at the 36th Street Station and arrested, the NYPD said.

4. People aren't getting away with this crap

It’s nice to see the other passengers step in. “Your white privilege ain’t working here.”
