Doormen fired for failing to intervene in anti-Asian attack

“While the full lobby video shows that once the assailant had departed, the doormen emerged to assist the victim and flag down an NYPD vehicle, it is clear that required emergency and safety protocols were not followed,” the company said in a statement.

The union previously said that the doormen waited until the attacker walked away to check on Kari and flag down a nearby patrol car because they thought he had a knife.

Elizabeth Kari said that a person across the street who was not seen on surveillance video helped by screaming to distract the attacker.
