（记者林伟呈报导）台湾一名女性留学生在美国纽约图书馆遭到陌生人无故殴打，头部受伤并流血。她在Dcard网路平台上发文抱怨拨打外交部的旅外急难救助专线后，仅收到一位移民律师的电话，对外交部感到失望。对此，外交部今天发布新闻稿，说明驻外处在积极协助处理该事件的相关情况。
外交部发布新闻稿表示，台湾驻纽约办事处在5月19日接获当事人的急难救助电话后，除立即表达慰问和关心之外，还详细了解事件经过和当事人的需求和协助要求。在过去几天里，驻纽约办事处多次致电关怀当事人，并与纽约市警察局（NYPD）保持紧密联系以追踪此案。
外交部表示，在驻纽约办事处持续努力下，纽约市警察局已催促负责该地区的分局尽快调查此案，同时要求图书馆保存监视器画面以供查阅。纽约市警局的调查人员将继续与当事人联系以进行后续调查工作。驻纽约办事处已第一时间将这些进展情况转告给当事人，同时关心她的身心健康康复情况，并得到了当事人的感谢。
外交部强调，非常重视海外侨胞和留学生的安全，同时谴责任何形式的暴力行为。驻纽约办事处将继续与当地警方保持联系并提供必要的协助。外交部也呼吁在美国的台湾侨民、留学生在遇到涉及人身安全的紧急事件时，除采取个人保护措施外，请立即与当地执法机构或最近的台湾驻外代表处联系寻求协助。
@niksvalerie ❗️❗️If you see this woman in New York City please be careful❗️❗️ My friend and I went to the 5th floor bathroom of the New York City Library (Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library) on 5/17 at 7:15pm. While we were in the bathroom, a woman was silently staring at us from the corner of the bathroom . As we were leaving the restroom, she randomly hit my friend in the head so hard that my friend’s head bled and caused my friend to mentally breakdown. A few security guards came over and called the police. When the woman came out of the bathroom, all the security guards did was tell her she wouldn’t be allowed back into the library. ❗️NOTHING FURTHER. ❗️ Then the woman tried to get on the elevator and leave the library. Unfortunately no one helped me stop her from leaving except me. The security guards continued to watch and tell me to calm down. They also kept saying that they had no right to do anything because of legal issues. The lady slowly left the library with no issue. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of effort shown by both NYPD and security of the NYC Public Library. #fyp ♬ original sound – Niks✨
