One of the girls pushed him, claiming that the musician had bumped into her, cops said.
“My girl is pregnant!” her boyfriend screamed, as he repeatedly punched Unno in the head, police said.
The musician, known to friends as Tada, tried to scramble out of the station but
the enraged teen knocked him on the ground and screamed “Chinese!” police sources said.
Medics took Unno to Harlem Hospital where he was listed in stable condition. There have been no arrests.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force was investigating, but
cops said it’s not yet clear if a hate crime was committed.
