A man seen in surveillance video punching an elderly Asian woman more than 100 times and stomping on her body in Yonkers, New York, has been sentenced to more than 17 years in state prison, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Today we close a chapter on one of the most violent and shocking hate crimes that weve seen in Westchester County, Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah said in a news conference.
Tammel Esco, 42, pleaded guilty in September to assault in the first degree as a hate crime based on an agreement with prosecutors, Rocah said. He was sentenced to 17.5 years in state prison and will be subject to five years of post-release supervision, she said.
Graphic surveillance video of the incident posted by Yonkers police shows the brutal March 11 attack, which took place after the 67-year-old woman, who is of Filipino descent, walked past Esco. Prosecutors said he called her Asian b*tch shortly before the attack.
After she fell to the ground, Esco punched her more than 100 times, stomped on her body repeatedly and spit on her, according to the felony complaint.
The woman suffered brain bleeding, and multiple facial fractures, among other injuries, prosecutors said.
