A man was arrested on Tuesday, May 4, after he repeatedly hit two Asian women with a cinder block at a liquor store in Baltimore.


The man was identified as Daryl Doles, age 50, while the names of the Asian women, ages 66 and 67, have not yet been released.


The police reported that Doles was charged with two counts of aggravated assault, but it is still unclear whether the incident is being labeled as a hate crime. 


The victims were employees at a liquor store and were said to be closing the store when Doles attacked them.


The surveillance video shot in the store shows a man, Doles, rushing into the store and wrestling with one of the women before he repeatedly strikes her in the head with a cinder block.


Another woman is seen running into the store and trying to help the woman on the floor, ending up being attacked by Doles as well.


The video also captures an unidentified man inside the store watching the whole encounter and then walking calmly out of the store without trying to help the women at all. 


Both of the women were taken to the hospital and were discharged a few hours later, with no life-threatening injuries.


A GoFundMe page, which showed pictures of the women’s injuries and claimed that one of the women had to get more than 25 stitches on her head, was created by a relative to help the women pay their medical bills. Almost $68,000 was raised on Wednesday night, the day after the attack.


This attack is the latest of several hate crimes against Asian Americans occurring all over the U.S.


“I urge everyone to do all we can to raise awareness and to speak out against bias, hate, and violence against any members of our city and community, including Asian Americans,” said Robert Hur, the victims’ attorney and head of the state’s Hate Crime Task Force.
