QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY: Jill LeCroix, 57, was left bleeding after being blitzed by three Black women on a city bus on July 9 — an attack now being investigated by the New York Police Department's Hate Crime Task Force. The Queens bus rider assaulted in an "anti-White crime" claimed that one of her attackers accused her of being a fan of former President Donald Trump before the assailants bashed her on the head. The footage was finally released by the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information of NYPD.
“Before they hit me, the girl with the green hair said, ‘You probably like Trump! Don’t you?’ LeCroix told The New York Post. “I said, ‘I love him.’ I didn’t see which one hit me first". “The one with the green hair, she was saying she hates White people, the way they talk, hates white skin, the way their skin cracks. Saying she was gangsta,” said the bartender, who was headed to visit her mother at the time. “I was the only White person on the bus. By the time we started passing St. John’s Cemetery on Woodhaven, she started in on me, saying, ‘That’s where I’m going to bury you!’

“She had a bag from Bath and Body Works, and she took out a scrub and said she was going to beat me with it. It was tangerine,” LeCroix said. “She said, ‘You’re going to get what you deserve! All White people are going to get what they deserve.’ It was crazy.” LeCroix, who has three biracial children, said the gash on her head required three staples to close.
“I didn’t even know” how bad the wound was, she said. “They sat me down on the bus, and one of the passengers said, ‘Uh, oh, you’re bleeding pretty bad". At the time, LeCroix was on a southbound Q53 bus near Jamaica Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard. Cops released surveillance video of her alleged attackers, including one with bright green hair. The victim believes the three suspects were in their late teens to early 20s.

“The one with the green hair was the mouth, but they were looking for trouble,” LeCroix said. “When they got on the back door of the bus, they were laughing, and the one with the pink hair said, ‘Yeah, I kicked that baby stroller!". More than a week later, the attack left the victim shaken. “Never in my life have I been attacked like that,” LeCroix said. “They said they hate white people.”
