The 65-year-old woman was walking in midtown Manhattan a few blocks from Times Square.

In video, the man is seen repeatedly kicking her in stomach & knocking her to ground.

Police said the man also stomped on her face while shouting anti-Asian insults at her.

Video shows two people nearby, who appeared to be security guards, did not intervene.
