She said she was going to kill me herself
This happened at 8th and Howard Street at approximately 3:40 PM.
I, a 30 year old, Asian-American (Korean) woman...was waiting for friends outside of a venue hosting an event we were attending together. I saw a woman come across the street on her bike and noticed she dropped some belongings on the ground. I don't interfere or help when I'm in the city, unless explicitly asked to, because it has gone bad in the past.
The woman seemed extremely upset. After she collected her things, she made her way towards the corner of the sidewalk I was standing near and started heading in my direction. I had headphones in, so I took them out (because I thought she needed help and was going to ask) only to hear her saying extremely racist things about how Asians didn't deserve to be here and that we should all go back to where we came from or kill ourselves.
She then walked right up to me and put her face in my face as to intimidate me. Each time I stepped away, she continued to follow me, until I was able to put adequate distance between us. I thought that was it...but it wasn't.
She then goes back over to her pile of belongings and picks up a large cannister of salt and says she's going to kill me herself. She hurls it at my head and I moved out of the way enough that it only hit my leg (which later resulted in a bruise). A security guard at the event had stepped outside at that point and walked over to me to ask if I was okay and let me inside the building to wait.
I asked him if I should call the cops and he shook his head and said they won't come out and if they do they won't do anything because the woman will have moved on. He was also Asian.
