2 NYC doormen accused of standing by as an Asian woman was attacked have reportedly been fired

• The doormen accused of standing by during a brutal attack on an Asian woman were reportedly fired.
• A 26-second video sparked outrage as it appeared the building's staff failed to intervene.
• The man, however, appeared to offer some help after the attack in a longer clip of the incident.

The New York City doormen who were accused of standing by while an Asian woman was brutally attacked outside have been fired by the company that manages the building, CBS News reporter Matt Pieper first reported.

A viral video of the incident last week showed a man kicking a 65-year-old woman to the ground and stomping on her head while verbally assaulting her on March 29 outside 360 West 43rd Street, an upscale residence in midtown's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood managed by The Brodsky Organization.

A 26-second clip of security footage shared by the New York Police Department appeared to show building staff standing by while the brutal attack occurred just outside the building, sparking widespread outrage about their conduct.

But a longer video obtained by Insider showed that three building staffers went to offer assistance after the attacker had left the scene. Staffers said they saw the assailant wielding a knife during the attack.

The Brodsky Organization said last week that the building staffers who witnessed the attack were suspended while it would investigate the incident in conjunction with the staffers' union.

On Tuesday, the company announced it completed that investigation and fired the two doormen seen in the video.

"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. For this reason, their employment has been terminated, effective immediately," the company said in a statement cited by ABC News reporter CeFaan Kim.

It was not immediately clear which protocols the statement referred to. Representatives for The Brodsky Organization did not return Insider's request for comment.

Kyle Bragg, the president of 32BJ SEIU, the union representing the workers, said in a statement to Insider that the union had been informed of the decision to terminate the workers but "did not play any role whatsoever" in it.

"We believe we must root out systemic racism in all its forms," he said. "We believe that all union workers, especially workers of color who are often the subject of unfair treatment on the job, have a right to a fair process as outlined in their contract."

Bragg said that the fired workers had initiated the process to challenge their terminations, but noted the process could be months long.

Brandon Elliot, the 38-year-old accused attacker, was arrested last week on hate crime charges and held without bail.
