As reported by SFWeekly, the victim has been identified as Charles Wu who was harassed on Monday night.
The assailant got on the train near the Coliseum Station and was talking loudly about the Warriors' Stephen Curry. Only when he started to use racial slurs, the Asian man asked him to stop, to which the assailant got offended and directed his attacks to Charles.
Fellow passengers stopped the altercation and alerted BART police officials who started the investigation.
On Wednesday morning, BART published an official update on their Facebook page stating that their detectives have spoken to the victim and that he doesn't want to press any charges against the assailant.
This deplorable act is being investigated. We have the ability to ban violent riders- it's called a prohibition order and we issue them when appropriate. All of the details about this case can be found here: https://t.co/ZkquI4hjW9#BayAreaRidesTogether https://t.co/TFAE29wB7q

Viral video update: Detectives spoke to the victim today and he is still not interested in pursuing any charges- which was also the case when our officer responded to the train when it happened. We are sharing the image of the individual in the video with all of our officers.
