The woman who infuriated prices at a Chinese takeaway spot in Harlem attacked two workers, spitting out racist, anti-Asian vitriol, police and sources said Monday.
The suspect fell into anger over the cost of the food at the Empire Chinese Restaurant on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, near West 141st Street, police and sources said.
“Your Asians can’t stay here!” According to law enforcement sources, she narrated. “Let’s go back to your country!”
The customer then grabbed the 42-year-old with his hair and dragged him to the ground, causing him to become violent.
She then turned her attention to a 48-year-old man who worked in the restaurant, punched her head and face and cut her lips, officers said.
Police were unable to confirm whether the woman attacked was an employee.
Both victims refused to see a doctor for minor injuries.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating violence, officers said.
The assailant, known as a woman with a dark complexion, was last seen wearing a black coat, black pants and black sneakers.
Police released photos of the suspect early Monday.
