一名在美國留學的台籍女研究生於網路發文控訴指出,本月紐約時間17日晚間,她在紐約公共圖書館(SNFL)遭一名女性毆打,導致頭部流血,但現場保全僅要求她與友人冷靜,並讓打人女子離開現場;女學生事後向外交部求援也未獲適當回應。貼文曝光後,外交部表示將對紐約圖書館提告。
@niksvalerie ❗️❗️If you see this woman in New York City please be careful❗️❗️ My friend and I went to the 5th floor bathroom of the New York City Library (Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library) on 5/17 at 7:15pm. While we were in the bathroom, a woman was silently staring at us from the corner of the bathroom . As we were leaving the restroom, she randomly hit my friend in the head so hard that my friend's head bled and caused my friend to mentally breakdown. A few security guards came over and called the police. When the woman came out of the bathroom, all the security guards did was tell her she wouldn’t be allowed back into the library. ❗️NOTHING FURTHER. ❗️ Then the woman tried to get on the elevator and leave the library. Unfortunately no one helped me stop her from leaving except me. The security guards continued to watch and tell me to calm down. They also kept saying that they had no right to do anything because of legal issues. The lady slowly left the library with no issue. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of effort shown by both NYPD and security of the NYC Public Library. #fyp ♬ original sound - Niks✨

一名台籍女研究生20日在網路論壇發文指出,紐約時間17日,她從紐約圖書館廁所離開時,突然被一名戴口罩的黑人女子毆打右腦勺,導致她撞到牆角,頭部血流不止。女研究生友人見狀試圖攔住黑人女子,並請現場5名圖書館保全幫忙,但保全要求女學生與其友人冷靜,也讓攻擊者離開圖書館。

女研究生貼文寫道,「我覺得我被無差別攻擊,也感受到保全的種族歧視。」所幸被送到急診室後,確認傷勢已無大礙。19日她撥打旅外國人急難救助電話,希望獲得外交部領事事務局協助對圖書館提告,並獲得相關賠償,但僅獲得一名移民律師電話,讓她失望地發文求助。

對此外交部22日發布新聞稿回應,紐約辦事處19日確實有接到女學生電話,將就圖書館人員在警方抵達前讓施暴者離開,對圖書館提告。

外交部也譴責任何形式的暴力行為,包括種族仇恨及歧視、言語及肢體暴力等,表示將依據《旅外國人急難救助實施要點》,將紐約辦事處的合作律師及紐約亞裔律師協會等聯絡資訊提供給女學生。
