Two doormen have been fired after they failed to intervene when an Asian woman was viciously beaten outside the luxury Midtown building they supervised.
The Brodsky Organization, the management company that runs the building, told The Post Tuesday the pair were terminated for not following “required emergency and safety protocols” during the attack.
“Today, The Brodsky Organization completed an inquiry into the response of the two doormen who were present inside the building at the time of this incident. While the full lobby video shows that once the assailant had departed, the doormen emerged to assist the victim and flag down an NYPD vehicle, it is clear that required emergency and safety protocols were not followed,” the organization wrote in a statement.
The management company previously suspended the two workers after the attack. Brodsky Organization“For this reason, their employment has been terminated, effective immediately.”
The broad-daylight assault on the afternoon of March 29 was captured on video and shows 65-year-old Vilma Kari being pummeled in the face and kicked to the ground in front of 360 W. 43rd St. as onlookers and the doormen do nothing to help.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the woman who was assaulted. GoFundMeConvicted murderer Brandon Elliot, 38, allegedly told the woman “F–k you, you don’t belong here, you Asian,” as he beat her, prosecutors said previously.
Separate video later showed that workers did finally open the door and go outside to aid the woman — once the assailant was gone.
Brodsky previously said the workers claimed they did not initially intervene because they saw the assailant pull out a knife.
The video shows them then flagging down a police car.
Kari suffered a fractured pelvis and bruising across her body and was hospitalized for over a day, prosecutors said.
Elliott, who’d recently been released on parole after serving nearly two decades in prison for killing his mother in front of his 5-year-old sister in 2002, lived at a nearby homeless shelter.
He’s been charged with two counts of second-degree assault as a hate crime and one count of attempted assault in the first degree as a hate crime, court records show.
He was remanded during his arraignment last week and is currently behind bars on Rikers island, records show.
The Brodsky Organization said it is “extremely distraught and shocked” by the incident and its “hearts go out to the victim.”
