A grandmother was brutally beaten on a Los Angeles bus by a young woman who believed the elderly woman was of Asian descent.
The 70-year-old victim was of Mexican descent and was about to get off the bus when a 23-year-old woman approached her furiously and "bathed" her with a racist gutter, believing she was Chinese.
According to local media reports, the young woman grabbed the old woman, who is simply named Becky, threw her down and started hitting her with rage. "No one helped her, not even the driver," says her son, Pete.

The beating stopped only when the 23-year-old heard a passenger calling the police. The photos of the elderly woman are disgusting, she has bruises on her face and neck.
Her son said he came out of the attack with a broken nose.
A police spokesman who spoke to the Los Angeles Times said 23-year-old Yasmine Beasley had been arrested in connection with the attack.
