According to PIX11, Stephanie Pazmino, 30, was taken into custody and charged with assault as a hate crime, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon after assaulting Ijan DaVonte Jarrett.

According to Jarrett, he offered his seat to Pazmino who refused before turning to her companion and saying in Spanish that she didn’t want to sit next to a black person.

“I got up anyway and said to her that she didn’t have to sit next to me,” Jarrett,told the New York Daily News. “I took a seat across from her and just forgot all about it.”

According to Jarret, the woman attacked him by punching him as attempted to get off at his stop, and that he didn’t know he had been stabbed until bystanders stepped in to help.

One more crazy racist - hope she ends up in prison.

Decades ago my best friend and I were on a bus in Manhattan and an elderly lady came on - my friend got up and offered her seat - the woman shouted at her 'what do you think I am - old?' We did laugh.

it takes awhile for folks like me to realize that they look old. I just smile and take the seat.

And they get the message. I save the seat giving for obviously pregnant women and people looking for a seat, though I rarely sit.
