College student attacked over Queens parking spot leaves neighborhood as mother and daughter suspects apologize
Briefly

A college student in Queens, Jada McPherson, was attacked by a mother-daughter duo over a parking spot, resulting in physical and verbal abuse. McPherson has decided to leave the neighborhood, despite community support. The incident involved racial slurs exchanged between both parties, and the attackers have been arrested and charged with assault and harassment. After footage of the brawl surfaced online, there was significant backlash towards the assailants, prompting them to apologize. McPherson expressed that death threats toward the attackers have been unnecessary.
"It just all happened so fast," McPherson told ABC 7 News. "Her agenda was to pull my hair. That was their main agenda, like it's three against one, and I'm like 130 pounds, barely."
Racial epithets and derogatory remarks were hurled by both parties, including the mother calling McPherson 'a monkey, b-&' and the daughter calling her a 'slave.' McPherson has also owned up to calling them an 'immigrant.'
In the days since McPherson, a 21-year-old rising senior at Pace University, has made plans to move out of the neighborhood for good. She told the New York Post that her leasing company had even offered to relocate her elsewhere.
"I just feel like the death threats are unnecessary," McPherson told the New York Post, despite still being upset herself. "I don't think the death threats are necessary. I just feel the violence, especially to [her] son, is completely unnecessary."
