<p id="ext-gen74">Johnson did not report the incident at the time until a friend saw the video recorded by witnesses posted on social media and brought it to her attention.  ;However she revealed that she was happy police were on the hunt for the woman who assaulted her. <br>&#8216;That&#8217;s not on me. That&#8217;s a reflection on her. She needs to look at herself and figure out why she looks down on somebody,&#8217; she said.<br>&#8216;We are always trying to give reasons for what people do but I can&#8217;t get into her head. I only know what she did, what she said and her actions,&#8217; she added.<br>&#8220;She was so loud and aggressive,&#8221; Johnson told ;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://abc7ny.com/black-woman-hit-with-bottle-jogger-hate-crime-bias/6425925/">ABC7 ;</a> on Wednesday. <br>&#8220;She did call me the N-word, and I mean I&#8217;m not an N-word, none of us are, but the reality is that this woman felt that she needed me to be that and I would just say that she needs to look into herself as to why.&#8221;<br>Johnson said she has not gone back to that neighborhood since the incident, but has received an outpouring of support from groups like Black Girls Run. ;</p>
