Tammel Esco, 42, was charged with assault and attempted murder in the horrific Friday evening attack ââ¬â with the entire assault caught on surveillance video. ââ¬ÅThis is one of the most appalling attacks I have ever seen,ââ¬Â Yonkers Police Commissioner John Mueller said in a statement. ââ¬ÅTo beat a helpless woman is despicable, and targeting her because of her race makes it more so.ââ¬Â Esco spewed the racial slur as the woman walked past him outside her Yonkers apartment building shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, cops said.
