맨해튼에서 발생한 관광객에 대한 무차별 공격

맨해튼 미드타운에서 또 다른 관광객이 도발적인 공격으로 칼에 찔리는 사건이 발생했습니다.

42세의 이탈리아 관광객이 매디슨 애비뉴를 걷고 있었는데 한 여성이 칼로 그의 손을 베었습니다.

이 사건은 어퍼웨스트사이드에서 발생한 덴마크 관광객에 대한 또 다른 공격과 유사합니다.

이 공격은 예상치 못한 장소인 매디슨 애비뉴에서 발생했습니다.

피해자 파올로 레흐는 공격 당시 상황과 가해자의 행동에 대해 설명했습니다.

피해자는 뉴욕대학교에서 강연하기 위해 이탈리아에서 방문한 컴퓨터 공학 교수입니다.

며칠 전 덴마크에서 온 또 다른 관광객이 칼에 찔렸고, 가해자는 살인 미수 및 폭행 혐의로 기소되었습니다.

뉴욕시의 이미지와 관광 산업에 미치는 영향에 대한 우려가 제기되고 있습니다.

이 공격은 도시 경제에 잠재적으로 해를 끼칠 수 있는 것으로 간주됩니다.

공격에도 불구하고 이 이탈리아 관광객은 여전히 뉴욕을 사랑하고 있으며 그의 인식은 변하지 않았습니다.
