A Violent, Unprovoked Encounter

During shelter in place + working from home, lunch walks have become my ritual to stay healthy and to clear the mind. I was on my daily walk and crossed the street at an intersection. A man had just turned the corner so I moved to the edge of the sidewalk to make room. It looked like he was walking closer to me, so I tried to make more space between us. Before I knew it, he had lunged toward me and kicked me in the arm, and muttered something as he walked away. In shock, I gasped and looked back at him to see him glaring back at me. I wish I would have done something or could have said more, but I froze and continued walking, breaking into a light jog to get the rest of the way home when I realized his actions were most likely racially-charged. I am Cambodian/Chinese. I was texting a friend before the incident so I called her and she stayed on the phone until I got home safely.
