NYU Clery Campus Notice Hate Crime / Robbery On September 17, 2024, at 8:26 p.m., the Department of Campus Safety received a report of a robbery motivated by bias. The incident occurred at 8:20 p.m. near the northwest corner of East 25th Street and First Avenue, in Manhattan.   The victim, a Non-NYU affiliate, was assaulted by a group of unknown individuals. The victim reported that the group was yelling anti-Asian comments at the victim. The victim responded to the comments, then one of the suspects grabbed the victim's phone. When the victim attempted to retrieve the phone, the group of unknown individuals attacked the victim. The unknown individuals kicked the victim in the head several times then fled north on First Avenue with the victim's phone. The victim sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. The NYPD has been contacted and notified of the incident.  Description of Suspects: The group of approximately six to eight individuals were described to be female presenting, with dark complexion and appeared to be teenagers. If you have additional information about this incident, please contact the NYPD at 1(800) 577-TIPS and NYU Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. Please Remember These Safety Tips: Be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone.  Walk in groups whenever you can. There is always safety in numbers. Using a smartphone or other electronic devices, especially with earbuds, can be distracting and may make you a vulnerable target for an assailant.  Trust your instincts. If you feel that you may be in danger, seek out others or an open NYU facility that has Campus Safety Officers posted. If you are the victim of a crime, do not engage with the assailant as that may put you in further danger.  If you are the victim of a crime, call 911 immediately and then report the incident to the Department of Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. NYU Students can call the Wellness Exchange at 212-443-9999 24/7 for confidential medical and counseling support.

    Final assessment

    All 25 reads find I present: It states the victim was kicked in the head, sustained serious injuries, and was taken to the hospital.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
