Actress Olivia Munn said on Wednesday that a man attacked her mother’s mother – an Asian woman – in New York City this week.
The 52-year-old victim was outside a store in Queens on Tuesday when the suspect pushed her with such force that she hit her head on the concrete and ‘went out on the floor’, according to the victim’s family and reports.
“She left the hospital with 10 stitches in her head,” Munn, 40, wrote on Twitter, along with a photo of the suspect. “We’ll get this guy. Queens, Internet, please do … do it.”

“Hate crime has no place in our community. How do you go against a 5’3 110-115 pound woman?” She wrote.
