Wendy Drew, a native of South Africa and San Francisco resident, was called the N-word by a man as he passed her in the Financial District, leading to an alleged assault.
Drew confronted the assailant, who then pushed her to the ground and began punching her while his dog barked, demonstrating an unexpected act of public violence.
Despite the defendant facing charges of assault and hate crimes, community leaders are increasingly concerned about the rise in anti-Black violence, emphasizing the need for accountability.
The incident has left Drew feeling unsafe in her own city, highlighting the impact of hate-related attacks on mental wellbeing and community trust.
