Hammer-wielding attacker kills Asian American chef

SCREEN CAPTURE / CBS

A MAN using a hammer attacked employees at a Brooklyn, killing at least one.

The alleged attacker, Arthur Martunovich, told detectives he was inspired by a movie about Chinese mistreatment of women.

After watching the movie - whose title Martunovich couldn't recall - he told police that he had "no choice' but to attack the workers at the Seapprt Buffet.

According to witnesses, Martunovich, 34, allegedly entered the restaurant around 5 p.m. Tuesday (Jan. 15) and struck owner Kheong Ng-Thang, 60, over the head. He then entered the kitchen where he supposedly attacked Tsz Mat Pung, 50, and killed chef Fufai Pun, 34. Thang died at the hospital Saturday (Jan 19) but Pung remains in critical condition.

The construction worker was charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, sources said.

“He had problems with Asian men,” one law enforcement source told the New York Post. “He talked about how Asian women are being treated by their men.”
