Woman arrested on hate crime charges after NYC subway attack caught on video

A 23-year-old New York woman was arrested on hate crime charges, after she allegedly punched, kicked and choked a woman on a New York City subway last weekend in an incident caught on video, the NYPD confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Diana Smith, 23, of the Bronx, appeared in video shot by the victim last weekend to yell that “Jews are eating kids!” while riding the crowded subway, and before she told the victim, “You’re a Jew. I can smell the kids.”

The video then appeared to show the attack, and as other riders reacted, Smith said, “It’s OK for her to eat a kid, but I can’t choke her down?”
