近日，一名居住在纽约的日本音乐家被一群青少年暴打，而原因让人无语又气愤：这群青年把他误认为是中国人，他们袭击了他，使他身受重伤。

事件发生于9月27日晚7:30左右，在这位日本人家附近的地铁站，8名少年殴打导致他多处受伤。

这个日本人叫海野忠孝，40岁，是一名爵士钢琴家，下班后他在曼哈顿市中心车站的检票口等候，被一名十几岁的男孩殴打。

当他设法逃离车站时，一伙青少年追上去殴打他，一共有8个人，据其回忆，这群少年把自己误认为是中国人，对其拳打脚踢。

据《时事通讯社》报道，这位东京出生的音乐家被紧急送往急诊室，他的右臂和肩膀骨折，锁骨骨折，全身都有淤青。

目前尚不清楚引发这次袭击的原因，但据报道，这群青少年称海野忠孝碰到他们其中一人。

事故发生后，由于受伤，海野忠孝至少一个星期没有弹钢琴，他甚至无法抱起自己刚出生的儿子。

据当地媒体报道，由于这位音乐家的主要收入来源被搁置，许多人担心他日后养家糊口的问题。

事件发生后不久，海野忠孝的朋友和同事杰罗姆·詹宁斯，建立了一个众筹网页，为他的家庭筹集资金。

詹宁斯写道：“海野忠孝是一位好丈夫、好朋友、好父亲，也是爵士钢琴界最耀眼的人物之一。他为许多著名歌手和乐队表演过。由于他的锁骨骨折，不能参加演出，也不知道什么时候能参加。”

詹宁斯补充道：“我认识的海野忠孝是最善良、最温和的人之一。”

募捐活动在四天内就结束了，大约有1700人捐赠，共募集了89611美元（约60万元人民币）。詹宁斯说：“捐款将用于急救医疗账单，康复治疗，房租、公用事业、杂货，心理健康治疗、出租车、搬家费用（搬到一个安全的社区）和照顾孩子。”

注：

编者查了一下捐款网站（链接如下），虽然捐款活动已经注明结束，但还是有人在继续捐款，目前总捐款数为95148美元。

附：英文报道原文

Tadataka Unno, a New York-based Japanese jazz pianist, was assaulted by eight youths at a subway station on Sept 27. It’s now unclear whether the 40-year-old, who suffered serious injuries, including a broken collarbone, will be able to return to performing again.

According to the New York Police Department, the incident occurred at around 7:30 p.m. at a subway station near the victim’s house. When Unno disembarked at the station after work, he was suddenly set upon and hit by a boy, who appeared to be a teenager, at the ticket gate.

Unno managed to escape outside the station but was chased and beaten by a group of about eight boys and girls. During the attack, he heard them saying the word “Chinese”. The suspects have not been arrested.

Following the incident, Unno was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance, which had been called to the scene by an eyewitness. He was found to have a broken right collarbone and bruises over his entire body. Though his injuries aren’t life-threatening, it’s not known when he’ll fully recover and he remains unable to perform and in pain over a week after the incident.

Unno recently became a first-time father in June, and he hasn’t been able to hold his son since the attack due to the pain from his injuries. The stress of the unprovoked attack also puts a question mark over whether he’ll be able to return to performing again, which is how he earns money to provide for his family.

While Unno became the unfortunate victim of a racist attack, people around the world responded with an outpouring of love and support. A GoFundMe campaign was set up by Unno's friend and colleague, drummer Jerome Jennings, who describes Unno as “one of the kindest and gentlest souls”.

The campaign, which has now ended, raised $89,611 in funds to help pay for Unno’s emergency medical bills, physical and mental therapy, and moving expenses to allow him and his family to move to a safer neighborhood.

Unno said he’s unable to leave the house due to the mental and physical trauma from the attack, but he has expressed his heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated, saying he feels overwhelmed by their love and support.
