SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) – As authorities report skyrocketing hate crimes against Asian Americans in San Francisco, one victim has sued District Attorney Chesa Boudin and the city, claiming more needs to be done to stop the attacks.

“It was the most brutal, terrifying and humiliating experience of my life,” said Ahn Lê of San Francisco.

The 69-year-old said he was beaten with a baseball bat by a father-son duo while walking in Chinatown in November 2019.

Lê is now suing the District Attorney’s office and the city, alleging his rights as a victim were ignored, saying the defendant was given the option to plead guilty to a misdemeanor, without being informed.
