"A 32-year-old trans woman is coming forward after she was physically assaulted in Brooklyn last week.

The woman, who did not share her name with the NBC affiliate she spoke with, was attacked on May 13 around 11:30 p.m. Leaving the subway, one man suddenly approached her on Ninth Street — then she was surrounded by four other people, The men, in their late teens or early 20s, called her a slur as she tried to get away. She felt her hair being pulled and then was pummelled by fists in every direction. After the beating, the men took off running. The woman was left with a facial fracture."
