Asian cashier punched in face in Midtown Manhattan

An Asian worker was punched in the face at a Midtown food market Wednesday afternoon, according to a witness and police.

The attack happened just around 1:45 p.m. inside the Japanese grocery, Sunrise Mart at 12 E. 41st St. near Bryant Park, a witness and police said. The man was acting erratic and sucker-punched the female manager when she asked him to leave since he wasn’t wearing a mask, cops said.
