EAST HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police have made an arrest in the assault of a 61-year-old Asian man who is now fighting for his life.

Authorities say 49-year-old Jarrod Powell was taken into custody thanks to tips from the community, who identified him as the suspect who stomped the victim in East Harlem in a vicious unprovoked attack.

Detectives were told Powell was seen at a nearby shelter on East 125th Street, and they made the arrest Monday. Charges against him were upgraded Tuesday to attempted murder and assault as a hate crime.

The victim's family says Yao Pan Ma remains in a coma, and after news of the arrest spread, the community came together to support the family.

"As New Yorkers, we shouldn't tolerate it," Assemblyman Ron Kim said. "We come here to say, stop targeting, scapegoating and killing Asian Americans."

He only attacked the Asian man because there weren't any black or white men to attack.

But an electrician company in Long Island left a double looped rope at the workplace clearly indicating they wanted to murder a young black electrician apprentice.

Sounds like a homeless dude, likely with mental problems.

Black man did it: "Asian man attacked".

Any other race did it: "Racism! White supremacy!"

I have my doubts it was him. This guy is older and the perp looked like a young guy with icy white jordans. A homeless man isn't going to have shoes THAT white

Great news and good for the community.

Hopefully he remains behind bars for life. He is a menace to society and almost certainly unable to change at this stage of his life.

Now try him as a habitual offender, with a hate crime enhancement.
