Unlike the story of “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett there was a real string of hate crimes in New York and the perpetrator was just caught.

New York City Police have captured a black, transgender woman in connection with a string of attacks against white couples, CBS New York reported.

Police on Saturday arrested a transgender woman they say attacked a white couple in the Bronx and may be behind a series of attacks in upper Manhattan as well.

Investigators say the transgender suspect, who is black, confronted a couple on E. 187th Street near Crotona Avenue in the Bronx. The attacker allegedly approached the couple and asked the woman if she was white before pepper spraying her.

The couple was too afraid to show their faces on camera, but tearfully described what happened in an exclusive interview with CBS2…

The man says he tried to approach the suspect but backed off when she pulled a knife. Moments later, they helped lead police to 37-year-old Thomas Herd, who was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she is set to undergo a mental evaluation before facing charges.

Investigators are now looking into whether Herd is the same person wanted in a string of suspected hate crimes in Manhattan. Multiple people, all of whom are white, were sprayed with an unknown chemical substance near subway stations in Harlem and the Upper West Side around noon on Friday.

Police say the first incident happened on the downtown platform of the 2 and 3 trains at the 125th Street and Lenox Avenue station. The suspect allegedly sprayed five people while walking westbound on 125th Street towards St. Nicholas Avenue, according to police.

Around an hour later, the same person allegedly sprayed a 30-year-old woman while waiting on the subway platform at the 96th Street and Broadway station.

“She pepper sprayed me, I couldn’t see anything It really sucked because I knew it was a hate crime,” a female victim told CBS.

“It lights up your whole face on fire. Your sinuses, your throat feels like it’s closing up. It’s rough.,” a male victim, Joshua Smith said.

If you watch networks like CNN you will notice that, unlike the fake hate crime against Smollett, the national media is not saying a word about this.

The liberals say black people can't be racist….

Yet coverage of this by every other MSM outlet fails to mention this was a HATE crime perpetrated by a “transgender” black person (all victims were white). Hate of any kind is unforgivable, but stop the delusional narrative that it’s a one-way street.https://t.co/BGpxp6ROP3
