Jun 9, 2026·3 min read

A woman who shouted “Jews are eating kids” on a New York subway and assaulted a young Jewish woman the previous weekend has been arrested and identified as Diana Smith.

Smith is a New York creative with the pseudonym “Lädy Millard,” who serves as a creative director for Block Realty Investment Coin.

The victim filmed the incident, which shows a Black woman shouting inside a subway car full of commuters, “Jews are eating kids!”

She leans toward the victim with a sinister smile and says, “You’re a Jew; I can smell the kids,” as the woman repeatedly says, “Don’t touch me.”

According to later reports, Smith knocked the 23-year-old nurse to the ground, beat her, choked her and pulled out a fistful of hair. Video footage shows other commuters pushing her back and shouting, “Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

“It’s okay for her to eat kids?” the woman yells. “But I can’t choke her down?”

“I was just assaulted,” the shocked victim says in a trembling voice.

Subsequent photos show the woman’s red scalp and a missing tuft of hair.

The victim was admitted to the hospital with minor injuries, including a concussion.
