A woman who was filmed in a viral video pepper spraying four Asian women in a racially motivated attack in Manhattan last month was formally charged with assault on Thursday.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced the indictment of Madeline Barker after she pepper-sprayed a group of Asian women on Hudson Street in the meatpacking district while spitting racial remarks.'Hearing the hateful and discriminatory words, "go back to your country" is deeply painful and these women allegedly heard them before enduring the physical pain of Ms. Barker’s pepper spray. People of all backgrounds deserve to feel safe,' Bragg said in a statement.
