Montebello man who occurs after a possible anti-Asian attack-NBC Los Angeles

After a professor of Japanese American professors had been brutally beaten in a possible hate attack, the Asian American communal organizations asked the law enforcement authorities to make more efforts to find the suspect on Thursday, while asking the prosecutors to stop anti-Asian hate crimes.

Professor Aki Mahara was still grasped by physical pain and emotional trauma from the attack of the last month, which left him with a concussion and injuries to the neck, cheek and teeth.

Mahara said when he ran home from work in Montebello with his electric bike, a four -door limousine with a medium size threw him from his bike and forced him to land hard on concrete.

“Go back to C —– Land,” recalled the ethics professor of hearing the racial bone when the car drove away.

The 71-year-old, also a Vietnam War veteran, said that he had provided the official with the Montebello Police Department, including the name of a person he believed that she was behind the attack. As a detective returned, according to Maehara, the most important information was not included in the first report.

Since Mahara was missing, Mahara turned to a coalition of lawyers, activists and supporters from the Asian American community of Los Angeles to put more pressure on civil servants.

“We were here hundreds of years. We contributed to America. This is also our country,” said Gerald Oh without the Asian American Civil Rights League.

The culprit behind Maehara's attack could be exposed to allegations of hate criminals because of his serious injuries.

Montebello's police department did not respond to NBC Los Angeles questions about the investigation.
