Ashish Prashar, who recently fell victim to a suspected hate crime, revealed to News that it required a joint effort from the community and the dissemination of a widely viewed video to prompt the NYPD to make an arrest. The arrest transpired two weeks after residents in Brooklyn joined forces to identify and apprehend a woman suspected of committing hate crimes against Prashar and his toddler. During the incident, Prashar, adorned in a Palestinian kaffiyeh, expressed deep concern for the well-being of other children of color in New York City.
