Hate crime detectives need the public’s help in finding a Brooklyn bigot who assaulted a man and shouted anti-Semitic slurs at him on Friday afternoon.
The NYPD released grainy video of the perpetrator behind the hateful assault, which occurred at about 3 p.m. on May 6 in the area of President Street and Utica Avenue in Crown Heights.
According to police, the suspect approached the 32-year-old male victim walking through the area and began punching him about the head. He also kicked him about the legs.
