A Chinese University of Wisconsin-Madison PhD student was attacked and
roughed up by what appear to be four minority locals early last week —
the third such assault in the last two weeks — but, at least so far,
authorities say it’s not a hate crime.
On Tuesday evening the student was knocked to the ground by the
assailants, who then proceeded to “kick and punch him,” WGLR reports.
The suspects did not take anything from the victim.
According to the Madison Police Department incident report, “detectives
have no information that leads them to believe th[e] attack is racially
motivated.” This and the previous assaults appear to be “random in
nature,” it said.
In a translated statement, the victim said his attackers (pictured),
“some of them black, some of them white,” left his face and ear bleeding.
“I didn’t even apply to any of the California/New York/Southern schools
for safety concerns,” the student said. “I also decided to live in the
most prosperous part of Madison. But tonight, whether it was racial
hatred or common school violence, it still came to me. [The assailants]
didn’t say a single word, didn’t try to rob my stuff, they just dragged
me to the ground to kick me.”

The university responded to UW-Madison student Luhang Sun’s tweet about
the incident by saying the attack was “deeply concerning.” It added that
it will “continue to work to create safe, equitable and inclusive
working, living and learning environment” for everyone on campus.”
Despite what law enforcement has said about the attacks, student Jiayi
Chen wrote on Instagram that “incidents with such racist nature are not
something new on campus.” She also complained that the university did
not send out an alert about the assaults.
In a statement issued by the Associated Students of Madison, Nominations
Board Chair Steven Shi said the university and the city should “pursue
policies to avoid future crime [against Asian & international residents]
of a similar nature from ever happening, and to forge a safer, more
welcoming Wisconsin for all.”
The Badger Herald notes there will be a gathering to protest the attacks
on Friday, June 24.
